Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer with us!

Volunteers are the heart and sole of Atlanta Track Club. Every year Atlanta Track Club relies on more than 8,000 volunteers to put on our 30+ events. We also rely on our volunteers for numerous projects at the Atlanta Track Club office and warehouse. Without the support of Atlanta Track Club volunteer corps, our organization would not be able to put on some of the most successful running events in the US.

Other Types of Volunteer Opportunities

CREW CHIEF

Atlanta Track Club crew chiefs are volunteer leaders who oversee important operational areas before our events and on race day. Examples of operational areas include start waves, water stops, medals, and food. Crew chiefs are the foundation of a successful event. As Atlanta Track Club representatives, crew chiefs serve as a bridge between Atlanta Track Club and the thousands of volunteers who donate their time to our events. Crew chiefs communicate essential details to the volunteers in their operational area in a timely manner and provide them with the knowledge to do their job effectively.

KILOMETER KIDS COACHES

Kilometer Kids coaches are famous for fun. Kids in K-5th grade look to these rock stars for advice about everything from how they can outpace their friend in the next running game to how to practice positive self-talk. Some of these volunteers are teachers, many are parents, and all are devoted to showing kids how fun it is to have good health, build community, exercise with friends, and do their very best. Kilometer Kids teams only exist when someone like you decides to recruit a few friends to help out and give kids the opportunity to get outside and get active.
