Volunteers | Anniston Runners Club

As part of your membership in the Anniston Runners Club, we ask that you please volunteer for at least one ARC race (Half-Naked, Canyon Climb, Woodstock, Plucked Turkey) or sponsored ARC event (e.g. Cheaha Challenge, Halloween Scavenger Hunt, etc. - will vary from year to year, see below) per year. We also invite anyone from the east Alabama community who would like to help make a difference and ensure the success of these events to volunteer if they so choose. These opportunities are valid for students or other individuals in need of volunteer hours.

Information on volunteering for Anniston Runners Club races can be found on the individual event's RunSignup page. The following links will take you to that race's page for volunteer sign-up:

Half-Naked Half/Quarter Marathon (January)
Canyon Climb 8K/5K (March)

Plucked Turkey 10K (November)
