Volunteer for the 5k
We are in need of volunteers to help label and stuff race bags the week before the race and volunteers to help deliver race bags around town the week of the race and the week after the race. Each delivery driver will drop off 10-15 race bags to an area of town. All volunteer shifts will meet at the Forrest Spence Fund Office (3092 Poplar Ave, Suite 15, Memphis 38111).
Please be mindful of social distancing and wear masks when coming to the Forrest Spence Fund office for your shift or to pick up your race bags for delivery.
Please take a look at the sign-up options to see which volunteer time slot will best fit your availability.
