"Volunteers play a huge role in the days leading up to event and
especially during race day," said Tim Rhodes, race director of the
Thunder Road Marathon. "Donating your time at the Thunder Road
Marathon is a great way to support the runners and our community, and
help make the event a great experience for everyone involved. We can
never have too many volunteers so we encourage as much support as
possible."
