Florida Striders Resolution Run

FS-ResRun2016Florida Striders has asked that ClayARES support them for their 2016 Resolution Run on January 9, 2016.  We will need a total of 10 operators to handle Net Control and points along the 5k & 10k routes.  This run will start behind the Orange Park Kennel Club and run along River Rd., as well as through a few of the neighborhoods along the route.  The run starts at 8:30am, so we will need to be setup and in position by 8:00am.  The run should be completed well before noon.

Below is a sign up sheet to volunteer for this event.  Please complete the information and you will be contacted with more information about the run.
