Who are the people wearing yellow shirts handing out medals at the finish line?
These are the people we do this for. The volunteers in yellow are cancer survivors and in some case, currently fighting their own battle. They are so committed to our cause that one volunteer had a chemo treatment the day prior to our event and STILL showed up the next day to hand out medals! Remember any pain you feel on the race course is nothing compared to what they have each endured. I would say to give them each a hug when you cross the finish line but I’m sure they would not be impressed getting hugs from hundreds of sweaty runners – so, be sure to give them a big smile and thank you.
