Course Marshall High Priority

March 30, 2025

Details

Course Marshalls will be assigned specific locations along the course, usually at turns. Your jobs will be to make sure that runners stay on the course and to cheer them on as they pass. You will also manage traffic and stop cars from entering the course from side streets when runners are present, and will coordinate with officers working the same area. Once the last runner passes your post, you will be responsible for picking up all cones and signage and returning them to the race start/finish. A police officer will be "sweeping the course" in a cruiser and will let you know when you've seen the last runner. There are 23 different posts along the course.
