The NJ Marathon is Looking for Volunteers

The Novo Nordisk New Jersey Marathon is looking for “Ask Me” team members to volunteer during marathon weekend on April 25, 26 and 27. The “Ask Me” team is a group of volunteers that answer questions that athletes might have before or after the race.

The team members will be separated into different groups according to the days they are able to volunteer and the times they are available. There are three days available to volunteer (April 25 and 26 at the Health and Fitness Expo and April 27 on race day). There will be two time slots to volunteer per day (morning and afternoon). Ideally it would be great to volunteer all three days, although we appreciate every second that you are able to help!

Each of the volunteers will undergo a training session explaining the common questions that they will be asked. The volunteers will also be given an awesome “Ask Me” volunteer shirt and a packet of questions and answers that they should have with them at all times while volunteering.

The Novo Nordisk New Jersey Marathon is a local race created in 1997 that involves the surrounding towns. The race started as a 700 person race in 1997 and is now an estimated 12,000 person race which includes a full marathon, half marathon, half marathon relay and Shaping NJ 5k race. The race includes eight shore communities in Monmouth County and supports hundreds of organizations to raise money through fundraising.

If you are interested in becoming an “Ask Me” volunteer, please contact Angela Ciroalo at ajciroalo@gmail.com. Please be aware of the days and times that you are available to volunteer.
