Not Racing? Be a Volunteer (don’t run, have fun)

The PMRR is a lot of fun for volunteers. Whether you’re helping out with registration, setting up aid stations, or monitoring the course during the race, volunteering is a great way to meet friends and be part of the team. Not to mention, you get to wear a bright orange vest and heckle the runners! If you or your group is interested in volunteering, please give us a call or send us an e-mail (look under Contacts). We will be holding meetings with volunteers around the first of December, so let us know if you’re interested in participating before then.

Training Runs

The GTC will host a total of 4 training runs for the PMRR 20k. The 8 a.m. training runs will start at the Physical Activity Center (PAC) at Furman University. Dates for the runs are: November 14, November 21, November 28, and December 5. These sessions are for runners of all ages and abilities, and we will have several groups to fit your pace - so No Runners Left Behind.
