Connecting Volunteers withOpportunities

I need volunteers for various areas of the race. I will need people at the registration table and the swag bag pick up. I'll also need people at the bag storage area, as well as at the turn around points for the race so people don't miss the turn around for the out and back. I will also need 2-3 people at each of the 3 water stations.
