Volunteers needed for Kansas City Marathon

The Waddell & Reed Kansas City Marathon is just around the corner and you don't have to run to take part in the race day festivities. We are still recruiting volunteers to help us make this year's event the largest and most efficient marathon in KC to date. To plan and organize an event the magnitude of our run, the Kansas City Marathon relies heavily on the efforts of dedicated volunteers such as yourself. Therefore, we graciously ask that you consider registering for one of our volunteer job stations. You can encourage friends, family, or coworkers to join in on the fun. Plus, you can even raise money for your organization, club, or non-profit by registering 10 volunteers or more through our grant group program. To learn how to set up a grant group, you can contact us at volunteer@kcmarathon.org. Why Volunteer? In addition to supporting the city of Kansas City and the 11,000 plus runners that partake in either the Marathon, Half Marathon, 5K, Team Relay, or Kids Marathon; volunteers also receive the following benefits A Long Sleeve Event T-Shirt Complementary Food and Beverages Free Entries into Prize Raffles, Including Southwest Airline Tickets Where We Need You? Several openings remain for Late Registration & Packet Pickup, the Start & Finish Line, and more. However, Course Monitors remains our biggest need to date.
