Some water stations will have gummy candies. Put a few pieces in a cup for the participants. Do not use up all the cups for gummies as water and Gatorade are the priority.
Water stations will have Gatorade and water in bulk coolers or in a case of bottles, please fill a cups 2/3 full and offer it to runners as they pass by. You may dilute the Gatorade with water if you think you will run short of Gatorade.
Place your trash can a short distance down from your water table. Keep your area clean and pick up all trash before you leave.
Fold your table and chairs up and place the trash bag nearby. There will be a sweeping crew coming by to pick it up. Make it easy for them.
If you are able to return the table, chairs, and other equipment to the finish line, please do so as it saves other volunteers time in collecting the equipment when the race is over.
Check the weather. A jacket or rain gear or sun screen protection may be useful. Also, the water stations are located on a wooded trail. A cap and bug spray may prove valuable depending upon weather conditions.
