Without volunteers there would be no races. Click the picture for a few words from Complete Running Network on the importance of marshalls in our running world.

The Eastern Marathon on June 10 has attracted Wally Herman, an 81-year-old runner from Ottawa. This will be his 692nd marathon which he expects to complete in under 6.5 hours.
