Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are an essential part of making the Run for Education safe and successful and we need hundreds of volunteers to help make this annual event a success. We have positions for Middle School and High School age students. We also have positions that are specifically for adults. To register as a volunteer, click here.
Where to Report on Race Day
- DANVILLE positions – Report directly to Charlotte Wood Middle School (600 El Capitan Drive, Danville). Look for the “Volunteer check-in table”. One of the coordinators will give you a volunteer shirt and any supplies you might need and then send you to your assigned location.
- SAN RAMON positions – Report to 2700 Camino Ramon – the parking lot directly across from City Center. Look for the “Volunteer check-in table”. One of the coordinators will give you a volunteer shirt and any supplies you might need and then send you to your assigned location.
If you volunteered for more than one position or more than one day, we ask that you check in for each of your positions.
Here are maps to BR2700 and Charlotte Wood.
