7th Annual Michelob Ultra El Paso Marathon - February 24, 2013

Bandit families-- Please read this posting and let us know if this is something you would be interested in volunteering your time for. We would love to enter our FRG for this opportunity to win up to $2,000! In order to do so we will need a minimum of 10 volunteers for 4-5 hours on February 24th. We are planning an 80's theme, but are always welcome and open to ideas that you have. If you are interested please contact Lacey Klein at [email protected] or Vicky Clark at [email protected]






The 7th annual El Paso Marathon will take place on February 24th from the top of TransMountain Road, to Fort Bliss, run through the Austin Terrace neighborhood, past Concordia Cemetery then on to the finish line in downtown El Paso. The marathon organizers are asking for volunteers to man the all important water stations along the way.

In order to encourage and maximize participation, the volunteers that are judged to be to the best and most enthusiastic group will have the opportunity to win one of the top three prizes ($2,000, $1000, or $500) and trophies for your service/ non-profit group.

The responsibilities of your organization will be to provide at least 10 volunteers, to make sure every runner and walker has the opportunity to obtain the proper amounts of fluid necessary to complete their chosen distance, and to provide encouragement and motivation for all participants as they push to finish strong. The runners really appreciate all the hard work that goes into each station (theme, costumes, music etc.) and in past years that the “antics” at the water stations really keep them going and maximized their entire running experience. Your group can have a great effect on the runners/walkers and can help propel them forward with energetic, realistic, and positive words/actions. There are 19 total hydration station locations on the course, four of which are on Ft. Bliss (Miles 9-12). The marathon organizers will provide the basics for running the water station including lots of water, electrolyte replacement drink, cups, trash bags, and tables. 10 members of your group is the minimum but more are encouraged and will add points for your group. Groups will be asked to commit to a 4-5+ hour time frame depending on station location.
