Volunteers at an Aid Station

As the holiday season approaches, our thoughts at RunVermont naturally turn toward gratitude and giving back. While running a race offers a powerful personal sense of accomplishment, we know the real magic of any event—from the Half Marathon Unplugged to the M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon & Relay—lies in the community that supports it. We simply could not do what we do without the incredible commitment of RunVermont race volunteers. Their dedication allows us to provide asafe and unforgettable experience for thousands of runners.

Embrace the Spirit of Community

Volunteering at one of our events is a great way to engage with the local running community. It's an opportunity to see the grit and joy of every runner up close, acting as a crucial cheerleader and facilitator. We are proud to foster this incredible spirit of mutual support.

The Deep Sense of Gratitude and Connection

Giving back creates a profound, personal sense of well-being that lasts long after race day. Seeing a runner’s face light up as you hand them water or cheering them through a tough mile is an immediate and powerful return on your time. This feeling of shared accomplishment fosters a unique kind of gratitude. It allows us to be active participants in someone else’s success story.
