GULF SHORES, Alabama - Volunteers are needed for registration, fill-water stations, finish line assistance and more for the Kaiser Realty Coastal Half-Marathon, 5K and 1 mile fun run on Nov. 24. In exchange for giving up valuable time to join the volunteer effort, volunteers will be able to benefit from free perks of the event.

Along with race participants, all volunteers will receive a free t-shirt and are invited to continue the fun at the Orange Beach Sportsplex for the post-race awards ceremony, featuring fresh Gulf seafood sponsored by BP and catered by Cosmo’s Restaurant & Bar. This Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission event provides a great avenue for community involvement and volunteers are crucial for this event’s success.

“We are lucky to have a supportive volunteer base in our area, and it’s the volunteers that make this event possible from year to year,” said Beth Gendler, vice-president of sales for Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission. “This is a great opportunity for those seeking to make an impact and build relationships in the community.”
