Make an impact in your community by volunteering with us! All RunVermont events, including the M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon & Relay, rely on dedicated individuals like you to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all participants and spectators. Volunteering is not just about giving back; it’s also a fantastic way to connect with fellow community members, gain valuable experience, and be part of something truly special. Whether you're a social club, family, or individual, there are numerous Vermont volunteer opportunities available to suit your interests and schedule. Join our team and help create an unforgettable event! Let your enthusiasm and support shine as we make this season’s events a tremendous success. All volunteers get a shirt or other clothing item, food and/or beverages at their shift, other incentives, and the appreciation of RunVermont and participants. Together, we can go the extra mile!

Weekly Volunteer Raffles (2026)
To show our appreciation and celebrate the vital role volunteers playedd in the first half of 2026, we had a Weekly Volunteer Raffle Giveaway!
Each week leading up to the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon, we held a raffle of items generously provided by our community partners. Every registered volunteer, for any first quarter 2026 RunVermont event, was automatically entered!
Raffle prizes included:
- Gift cards to Leonardo's Pizza;
- Gift certificates for UnTapped All Natural Athletic Food creemees (redeemable in Waterfront Park on May 24, 2026); and
- Socks from Darn Tough Vermont.
The Fine Print: Approximately 140 raffle prizes of nominal value (less than $50.00) will be given out over 19 weeks, but the chances of winning are dictated by (1) when you sign up to volunteer or otherwise enter and (2) how many other people have signed up to volunteer or otherwise entered. RunVermont Staff and Board are ineligible to win. Winners will be selected via random drawing each Friday until May 22, 2026, and will be notified via email, with first name also included on Instagram. Entry constitutes permission to use your first name for this purpose. If you want to enter the 2026 RunVermont Volunteer Raffle but are unable to volunteer your time then you may get one raffle entry by completing this form. Each signup to volunteer or entry via form is a single raffle entry, but each person is only eligible to win one raffle prize. Raffle prizes are transferable and RunVermont makes no and disclaims all warranties, guarantees, or representations, express or implied, concerning the condition, quality, or merchantability of any raffle prize. RunVermont may cancel the 2026 RunVermont Volunteer Raffle in its sole discretion.
