Safety is our top priority and volunteers help make this happen! Each intersection along the course is monitored by pre-assigned volunteers and we count on every volunteer for this race. 

This is a one-day volunteer opportunity. You will need to attend a mandatory volunteer orientation on race day, time TBA. 

All volunteer shifts are 8:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m. on Saturday, April 26. You will need to remain at your assigned location for your entire shift. There are a limited number of shorter volunteer shifts available. Please email riverbankrun@ymcamissoula.org ASAP should you need a shorter shift.

Race day volunteers will be responsible for stopping and redirecting traffic, directing runners, and cheering on racers. Music, cowbells, and signs highly encouraged!

If you sign up to volunteer and are unable to make it, please reach out to us ASAP at riverbankrun@ymcamissoula.org so we can find a replacement.

All volunteers are required to check in and attend a brief orientation at the YMCA (3000 S. Russell St.) on Saturday, April 26. Orientations will be offered 7:30–8:15 a.m. You will receive detailed information on your course assignment, this year's race shirt, and a safety vest.

All volunteer opportunities are outside. We recommend bringing the following:

• Comfy shoes
• Weather-appropriate clothing (jacket, hat, sunglasses, etc.)
• Umbrella (for sun or rain)
• A chair (if needed)
• Snacks, water, and/or coffee

We love having businesses and groups volunteer for the race! This is a great opportunity to give back together, and we encourage groups to wear shirts or gear with their organization's logo or name.

Important: Please note in the form below if you plan to volunteer with a friend, family member, business/organization, or group. Every volunteer will need to complete a volunteer application found below and sign the waiver. Let us know in the form if you will have minors in your group.
