Runners and Volunteers Needed for Sunday's Christmas Town Dash 8K at Busch Gardens

To CRR finish line volunteers -

Although the Christmas Town Dash 8K at Busch Gardens this Sunday, December 8th will be a chip-timed event by Mettle Events (with the usual CRR finish line system and chute not needed), the race is a Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix Event, and we have offered to help out wherever needed at the finish line (jobs there can include bib number recording, "chute pushing", walker bib number recording, or assistance with timing). If you can volunteer Sunday morning at Busch Gardens, let me know, and I'll let you know the specific assignments from the organizing group, Flat Out Events and Mettle Events. Volunteers will get shirts. Let me know if you can help.
 
Thanks,

Rick
