Black Squirrel volunteering

Black Squirrel is the local trail half-marathon that I've finished five times since 2016. I registered to run it again this year, but had to scratch because of my Achilles tendonitis.

Instead, I'm going to volunteer at the event. I'll be among the first at Lory State Park, helping arriving runners park their cars and find the starting line. After that, I'm going to a trail intersection to keep first-time runners on course as they pour down the Howard Trail. It's going to be a beautiful late summer morning and I'm looking forward to being part of the event.
