Volunteer for the MRA

Benefits of Volunteering:

  • If you decide not to participate in a race, volunteering is a great way to remain connected with the racing community.
  • You play an integral role in the safety and satisfaction of participants who are trying to attain their own personal goals.
  • If you are collecting volunteer hours for school credit, or a bursary program, the Manitoba Runners' Association (MRA) will attest to your contribution.
  • Cookies. We always have homemade cookies at our races! And as a volunteer, we hope that you will join us at the end of the event for a celebration of the participants.
