2019 Season Volunteer Registration Opens In Early March
Registered volunteers who help at a race earn a reserved place in a future marathon!
Hosting the Tunnel Marathons requires a lot of work on race day and we couldn’t do it without our volunteers. Registered volunteers who help out with a race even receive a reserved place in one of the three races in the following year at general cost. This means that when the race is full, up until six weeks before the race date, you get to sign-up!
