Hello running community:

As many of you know the The COHO RUN ,a ‘point to point’ run that starts at Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver and finishes at the Coho Festival site in Ambleside Beach park in West Vancouver is quickly approaching and we are in need of volunteers. The date of this illustrious event is Sunday September 7th starting at 9am. So if you are not running this beautiful route and you are free that day and would like to volunteer your services I am in need of the following:

• 4 START line volunteers (Keith would be able to shuttle you from Ambleside to Kitsilano and back) 7:45-9:15 am
• 12 MARSHALLS situated in various locations along the route 7:45- 11 am (approximate finish time)
• 4 FINISH line volunteers 9:15-12
• Package pick up Friday Sept. 5th 3-5 pm 1 person
• Saturday Sept. 6th 12-4 pm 2 people

As with all RUN THE NORTH SHORE events, we thank volunteers with a pair of SOLE socks, a complimentary entry to any RTNS event and an invitation to the VOLUNTEER Appreciation soiree at Taylor’s Crossing in the fall.

Hope to hear from you!

Runningly Yours,
