For a successful race, we need a large number of volunteers and would love for you to join us! You or your group will receive custom free race shirts and a bunch of service hours for school, work, or church. In addition, a portion of the race’s proceeds will be donated to Children Mercy’s ‘I Love Children’s Mercy Fund’.
This is an excellent opportunity to volunteer and support the Kansas City community all in the same morning, so we’d love your help. Assignment descriptions are below, and you can register for a shift here. If you have any questions, contact us at volunteer@hospitalhilrun.com or 816-721-5529. Thank you for your time and support!
