Oregon Road Runners Club is a volunteer driven organization from the Board of Directors to race day volunteers. Runners and walkers come together to help host our annual events to make them more accessible to the community and promote our mission.
There are many volunteer opportunities with the club. Talk to us about one that fits you, or read more below:
Event Volunteers
Volunteers are truly critical to support our participant at every ORRC Race event. To thank you for your commitment of time and effort, for each volunteer shift you sign up for and fulfill, we give you:
- A $50 credit towards future ORRC event (redeemable on RunSignUp within the next 12 months).
- Free food and parking at events.
- End of year volunteer appreciation event.
- Other perks may include a T-shirt, socks, or other items as available.
Groups of Volunteers
ORRC accepts applications for groups of volunteers at events, in which there is an expectation of at least four individuals, each doing at least 4 hours of volunteer service. This is a great way for students to fulfill volunteer requirements. In addition, ORRC provides $50 per volunteer. This can provide your group with funds; it has proven to be great for fulfilling some groups’ fundraising needs. For minors who are volunteering as a group, there should be at least one adult chaperone for every ten minor volunteers. Please contact us at volunteer@oregonroadrunnersclub.org for more information.
