Volunteer

FRSC_volunteerThe Frederick Steeplechaser Running Club would not exist without volunteers who make everything happen. As an all-volunteer organization, we’re always looking for help! Volunteering with the Steeplechasers is a great way to get involved with the club and the larger running community of Frederick.

Volunteer opportunities range from one-time event support (such as helping at the finish line of local races) all the way up to serving as an officer on the executive board.

To get involved, check out the resources below, or email volunteer@steeplechasers.org for more information. If you would like to be entered into our database of membership talent, complete this survey with your information.  When there’s a need that you match we’ll contact you to see if you’re available.  

Volunteer Activities

Want to get more involved in the local running community while giving back? The club is always looking for support at local races, including finish line support and aid station volunteering at larger events. If you’re interested in volunteering as a pacer or coach for one of our training programs, that’s great too! Learn more about volunteer opportunities at races, training programs, and events.

Committee Positions

If you’re interested in a more long-term commitment to support club operations, consider volunteering for one of the club’s committees. Learn more about each committee and volunteer opportunities.

Executive Officer Positions
