Fit & Able works hard to provide great event experiences to all our participants and spectators. But it wouldn't be possible without the help of many amazing volunteers. Every race needs volunteers and Fit & Able events are no different. And we need lots of volunteers to ensure our events are both safe and fun for everyone! We are always looking for responsible, able-bodied volunteers to help with registration and refreshments, manning water stations, and directing runners on the course. If that sounds like you, then please join us at an event. All you have to do is look through our event calendar below, find one that works for your schedule, and then go to that registration page to sign up to volunteer.

Our greatest need for volunteers is during the the spring and fall, however we also welcome volunteers, as well as interns, throughout the year for many smaller events and for office work. Please email us at info@fitandable.net if interested.

Volunteer Challenge

We want to recognize the remarkable work of our volunteers and support community organizations at the same time. All volunteers will be entered into a drawing for $250 awarded to the nonprofit or charity of your choice. Each volunteer starts with an automatic entry by registering to volunteer and will get additional entries by helping with additional events (some events may grant a greater number of entries for volunteering). Want to play the game?
