It would take 1-2 hours of your time. The jobs are easy, fun and a great chance to meet other members in the club. For your help you will get the RCGC Anniversary Long Sleeve Shirt plus free drink tickets. Contact cincinnatirunning@gmail.com if you can help.
  • Have you ever wondered what it takes to put together a race? Do you have an idea for a race, but do not know how to get started with putting it together? The club is seeking volunteers to serve on a race committee for 2012. If you are interested, send us an email at cincinnatirunning@gmail.com.
