It’s all in who shows up. Every Runner Counts, Every Point Counts. **LAST CHANCE** The club has partnered with Sub 5 Racing to help put on their Wolf Hollow 10 Miler. As part of that, we have been given some free passes to use at their event. Half of those passes will go to those who have volunteered at a few events this year: Gate City Marathon, Half Marathon and Relay, Freeze Your Buns, Summer Trail Series, and Fitness University. There’s still time to volunteer at the last two and earn extra chances for these passes! For the volunteer passes, you do not have to be a Strider. The second half of the free passes are available to anyone who is an active Strider on the day that we draw the names. Please submit your name, email and which events (if any) you have volunteered at so far this year There have not been many signups so far, so your chances are pretty good!
