Good luck to everyone participating in BV Velo & McBike & Sport's annual Tour de Smithers and Northern Triathlon Club's PG Northern Triathlon tomorrow! High-fives to all of the volunteers for making the events possible. One of those amazing volunteers & organizers is Peter Krause from McBike, who is also helping with this year's triathlon. Thanks, Peter!

Runners are able to run and volunteer. Or get your friends and family to come help out and cheer you on!

All volunteers get a free ticket to the awards dinner and are entered in a draw to win some sweet local prizes

Tasks : stage volunteers / Dinner set up / take down crew - There is also first aid volunteers needed! This is only a 2-4 hours commitment depending on the position.

Do you like organizing events? How about participating in them? Rupert Runners is looking for Race Directors.

A race director is responsible for planning and executing the event, including securing permits, managing logistics (registration, timing, volunteers), coordinating with local authorities. Sound Daunting?

Fear not! you will have the support support and guidance from the Rupert Runners board as well as past race directors! .

This is a great opportunity to get involved, share your ideas, and help grow our club.
