We sure do! Shirl, at our registration, will gladly sign your forms.

Amazing, thank you! Our volunteer race crew usually waits until the week of the event (Monday or Tuesday) to email their crew in case of any changes or more sign-ups. If you fill out the registration form, they will have you on their list. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Robyn King at rking@mccormickcarefoundation.ca

Please dress according to the weather. All volunteers will receive a volunteer t-shirt plus a safety vest and/or name tag. If it's chilly or wet, you will want to wear comfortable pants or shorts, running shoes, and potentially a sweater or raincoat.

You might also want to bring a snack and water, as most positions last at least a few hours.
