This is a volunteer opportunity. Each year we provide Run Rocklin with a handful of "Rabbits" to lead out the various run distances (5k, 10k, half marathon). While I have the Half covered, I need 2-4 volunteers to cover the 5k and 10k courses (1-2 riders per course). You simply ride ahead of the leaders, ensuring that traffic is clear and that the police and race volunteers know that the runners are coming through. This helps them coordinate traffic control and gives the lead runners someone to follow without fear of going the wrong way. We will provide RideWithGPS versions of each course. The courses are on closed roads or paved paths, so no active car traffic to contend with.
Volunteers get a t-shirt as well as a free Run Rocklin entry to give to family/friends.

Generally I do a short ride up to Newcastle or some similar area afterwards, and all volunteers are welcome to join if you want but that is totally optional.
