Runners and Colonial Road Runners Finish Line Volunteers
Needed for 11th Annual Warhill 8K Run/Walk, Saturday, June 14, 2014

To volunteer for the CRR finish line crew, email or phone Rick Platt at: rickplatt1@juno.com or 757-229-7375, cell 757-345-1431

With the 8K starting at 8:00 a.m., and the 1 mile fun run beginning at 7:30 a.m., CRR volunteers are requested to report around 7:00 a.m. or so to WISC, to be ready for the first event at 7:30. Thanks!

Full race details below:

***Note that the correct date is indeed Saturday, June 14, 2014, and the correct race distance is 8K (4.97 miles). There were some preliminary entry forms last winter that had a different date and a different distance, but a schedule conflict with a major youth sporting event at the Warhill Sports Complex necessitated the date change to this Saturday, June 14.***
