The Burns Park Run has been a volunteer-led event since 1979. A core group works throughout the year to coordinate event planning, but over 100 volunteers help make the run happen during the critical days and hours of the event. If you are interested in volunteering for any of the positions described below, please contact us! Many positions are filled, but not all.
