Giving Back to Team Ortho Foundation as a Volunteer E-mail

Each year, hundreds of dedicated volunteers help Team Ortho Foundation make our races a huge success. Whether handing out water, directing traffic as a course marshal, or even preparing race packets and goodie bags, the assistance they provide is invaluable.

Over and over, runners compliment us on how wonderful our volunteers are. It is because we have high expectations of our volunteers: they are punctual, hardworking and in-line with the mission of Team Ortho Foundation. In return we offer very generous incentives to show our appreciation.

Current Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering for Team Ortho


Volunteers usually can expect to work at least, but not limited to, 4 hours per event. Apart from events, we regularly notify our volunteer base of other opportunities that arise, like packet stuffing, medal preparation, or becoming a member on one of our various committees. Whether you want to volunteer as a family,as a group, or if you are a student that needs some community service hours, contact us for more information on getting involved.

We also can work with you if you would like to run one of our races and also volunteer. Not only does Team Ortho Foundation want to have volunteers, but we support your desire to be active too! We can find you the perfect position that will fit your time schedule, and still get you to the start line by race time!

Volunteer Benefits

Our volunteer incentive program is based on "Bones." One hour earns 1,000 bones for each hour of work. So working 4 hours at an event would get you 4000 bones. Click here for more information on the “bone prices” for races and gear.


We also have several thank you events each year when we express our gratitude to all of our volunteers who have recently given their time to one of our events. These events usually include a nice dinner and an opportunity to redeem your bones for gear or a race. We will notify you via email when these events are scheduled.


Team Ortho Foundation looks forward to working with you. We know your time is valuable and we value your time as well.
