Volunteers Needed At The NYC Half Marathon - August 27th

The New York Road Runners this year initiated a new race the NYC Half Marathon which will go from Central Park to Battery Park. This race in the past has been only in Central Park. For its initial year this race was limited to ten thousand runners and it took only 5 minutes to "sell out." Dr. Stephen Perle who is the chiropractic coordinator for the ING NYC Marathon is asking for your support by volunteering to be a part of the medical team. He says that this is a good opportunity to "get ones feet wet" at a "smaller" race before volunteering for the ING NYC Marathon. There is no obligation to volunteer for this race in order to volunteer for the ING NYC Marathon or visa versa. Volunteers will be providing first aid only to runners. So no need to bring any equipment. There will be shirts and possibly hats supplied to all medical staff volunteers from Nike. Unlike the ING NYC Marathon there is no obligatory orientation. Volunteers will need to show up around 6 am and should be done around 10:30 Please see the race web site for more information about the race in general - New York Road Runners Club. If you are interested or have more specific questions about being a volunteer on the medical team, please contact Dr. Perle via email [email protected] Please keep your eyes on NYSCA's web site for information about volunteering at the ING NYC Marathon which will be November 5th. Keep that date open we would love to see hundreds of chiropractors volunteering.
