PF Chang's Water Station - We Need Volunteers!

Dear Volunteer,

The Lucky Devils water station needs your help! You are going to have a great time as part of the P.F.Chang's Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Marathon and Half Marathon team! Below you will find information on what and why we have volunteers, expectations and incentives, the schedule and contact information.


What/Why Volunteers?

In order to put on a massive event such as the P.F.Chang's Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Marathon and Half Marathon that brings athletes from around the world and thousands of spectators on race day, we require the efforts of many volunteers. To efficiently organize the volunteers, we have volunteer captains and full time staff. Volunteer captains head up their respective area and are the direct contact to get information out to you. The full-time staff relays all the necessary information to the captains as well as all the behind the scenes coordination and planning to make this event happen. The goal for Water Station #24 is about 100 volunteers so invite your friends and family and send them this email.

Expectations:

The Lucky Devils water station needs your help handing out water to P.F.Chang's Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Half Marathon Athletes. The following link signs you up specifically for our water station, which will be located at the intersection where Washington St. becomes Curry Rd., and Van Buren St. becomes Mill Ave. Sign up today and SHARE!

Once you've registered, please email LuckyDevilsAZ@gmail.com to select your preferred shift. There will be three shift options:

* Shift A - 6:30am to 10:30am
* Shift B - 8:30am to 12:30pm*
* Shift C - 10:30 am to last runner**

*Note: We will need the most volunteers during Shift B.

**Note: The 2009 last runner took 5hr 30min from start time.

Incentives:

As a P.F.Chang's Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Half Marathon Volunteer, we will need some work out of you, but we try to make it worth your while. First off, all Volunteers receive an official P.F.Chang's Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Marathon and Half Marathon T- shirt. You get to be up close and personal with P.F.Chang's Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Half Marathon Athletes and Staff on the track. You also get free admittance to the Finish Line Expo and Concert featuring Everclear.

Schedule

You need to mark your calendars for Sunday, January 17, 2010 and plan on setting your alarm! Your captain, Drew Seybold, will send you parking instructions and other updates as they come so make sure you enter your information carefully!


You, as a Volunteer, are a very important part of making this race happen and I am here to coordinate our efforts to give the athletes the best volunteers they can have as well as answer any questions you may have to make your experience with the P.F.Chang's Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Half Marathon a great one! You may contact me in the evenings at 480-273-7342 or by email anytime at LuckyDevilsAZ@gmail.com.
