Volunteer Guidelines

• Volunteers must wear their Philadelphia Marathon Weekend volunteer sweatshirt/t-shirt and credential (if provided).
• If at any time during your assignment you have a problem, notify your team captain immediately, who will inform the proper authorities.
• Dress appropriately – casual and for the weather. Wear comfortable shoes.
• Do not bring backpacks, cameras, or other valuables with you to your assignment. The race is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
• Volunteers are required to obey the "No smoking" and "No alcohol" policy for the duration of their assignment.
• Refreshments will be provided for volunteers checking in at the Health & Fitness Expo or for race events.
• Volunteers working along the race course should bring a lunch.
• Volunteers working food and fluid distribution at the start, along the course and at the finish line will be given vinyl gloves that must be worn at all times.
• As a volunteer, be prepared to answer many types of questions. Take pride in your role. Familiarize yourself with the course maps and Start/Finish diagrams and all weekend events.
