Help Make Every Race Happen
Join the
svr crew.
SVR races are powered by volunteers. Whether you can help with one task, one race, or throughout the season, your time makes a meaningful difference.
Volunteer opportunities include chip and swag pickup, registration, course support, finish-line assistance, and other race-day roles. Some assignments even allow you to volunteer and still run the race.
Choose an opportunity below and join the SVR Crew!

VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION
We appreciate everyone who gives their time to support SVR events. Volunteers will receive an SVR Crew button so participants can easily recognize the people helping throughout the series. We will also celebrate our volunteers at the annual SVR banquet and are exploring additional ways to recognize those who contribute throughout the season.
MORE WAYS TO HELP
Additional opportunities will be added as the season continues, including timing-chip organization, annual banquet setup, and other behind-the-scenes activities. Thank you for helping make SVR such a welcoming and successful running community. We couldn’t do it without you!
