I'M really fast. Do I have to stick around for everybody once I'M done?
ShoMO RC trains AS A TEAM. We love and support one another like family. If you need to leave early because you have an important meeting with Puff Daddy we will understand. We ask that you understand that team building and training is what we do and try your best to stick around to cheer EVERYONE in.
ShoMO RC is seeking energetic, hardworking volunteers to assist with our Tinley Creek Trail Run. Volunteers provide key support to our participants as they train for the Chicago Half Marathon in September.
With a variety of exciting positions available, there is a job for everyone, including individuals, teams, friends and family. The Tinley Creek Trail Run is not possible without the help of all our amazing volunteers, so come out and join the fun. No experience is required.
