VolRUNteer With Your Group

You can help your non-profit group and help the race at the same time!

In exchange for your help on race day, September 6, 2021 we will make a donation on your behalf to your organization for each registered Volunteer that works. Each group has one or several specific jobs so your whole group can work together. You will receive a VolRUNteer t-shirt, goodies, and front row seat to the 2021 FORTitude 10K.

Start by registering your group at: GROUP LEADER APPLICATION. Our team will then follow-up with registration instructions for your entire group.

• Minimum Group size is 8
• Please do not over-commit to your group size.  Most often, we can increase your group size later if needed

• Once your group has signed up and been approved you will receive a group-specific link to share with individuals to register with your group. This link will also be listed on our website.
• After the race, we will make a donation to your non-profit, or the non-profit of your choice, based on the number of people who preregister and VolRUNteer on race day. Typically we donate $20-25 per person with more difficult jobs receiving the higher rate.
