Who will benefit from my volunteer time and energy at the Austin Marathon and Half Marathon®?
Your volunteer time benefits the Austin Marathon and Half Marathon’s® runners, walkers, guests and staff by providing help in a variety of areas, including start & finish line, packet pick-up, information and water distribution. And just as importantly, volunteers provide the energy and enthusiasm to help encourage our runners to the finish line! By volunteering, you are also supporting the 26 Miles for 26 Charities philanthropy program of the Austin Marathon and Half Marathon®. The program provides Central Texas non-profits with the opportunity to advance community awareness while raising money to support their mission. By helping to make the Austin Marathon and Half Marathon® a successful community event, our full team of volunteers, staff and supporters also help create economic opportunities for the City of Austin and Central Texas by way of the number of runners and guests visiting Austin for the race.
