Grandma's Marathon is lucky to have a dedicated team of key volunteers and volunteer captains committed to making our race weekend a success. Volunteer captains and key volunteers are responsible for many areas of the event, including overseeing our 15 water stations, runner hospitality, working with course marshals, planning of the William A. Irvin 5K, and much more.
If you are an organized individual who enjoys helping others and is also passionate about Grandma's Marathon, please reach out to our Program Director Alivia Nelson via email at alivia@grandmasmarathon.com to inquire about being a volunteer captain.
