What does it take to put on a race?

Have you ever wondered what it takes to put on a race? We created a Service Blueprint to help our volunteers know what to expect at the Reindeer Fun Run. We’re sharing so anyone can see what happens behind the scenes.

Note–you will probably have to zoom :-)

A thank you from the Reindeer Fun Run Committee…

As the year draws to a close, we at the Reindeer Fun Run want to take the time to thank you for everything you did to make the 7th annual Reindeer Fun Run possible. Runners from all over the Sandhills and beyond say the RFR is their favorite race and comment on how organized and fun the event is, and each year the number of registrants grows. All of this would not be possible if it weren’t for you, our volunteers, who gave time, energy, and effort every step of the way. Thank you for being there from start to finish and way after the last runners finished their cool downs, you all are fantastic! Special thanks goes out to the following:

Jae Kim and the Police, Fire, and Public Works Department for the Town of Aberdeen – this crew helped get the town of Aberdeen ready for the Reindeer Fun Run and helped to ensure runner safety

Robert, Matt, and Michael of the US Air Force – they provided heavy lifting and manual labor

Mark Belk, Tania Rodriguez, and Shelley Burnett – all stayed up late and did … continue

More runners than ever!

David — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 00:41:39 +0000

The 2010 Reindeer Fun Run has just passed our 2009 total for runners – and there is another week to register! Awesome! We want every year to be better than the year before, and we are excited to show off everything we have done to make that true again this year.

It is going to take 150 volunteers to put on the event this year. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY! Crazy. Traffic control, set-up, registration, food & beverage stands, the huge Chick-fil-A Kids Zone, the After Party, and a few surprises along the way.

This event is all about FUN – and we plan on having lots of it next Saturday. We are excited to share that with all of you!

Volunteers Needed

David — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 14:38:56 +0000

It takes nearly 100 volunteers to put on the Reindeer Fun Run each December. And it is never too early to offer your assistance. If you are willing to help us, please visit our Volunteer Registration. You can also talk to us on October 1 at First Friday in Southern Pines. We always need lots of help with traffic control – and if you are planning on running one of the races, any help before or after the event is greatly appreciated. Thank you to all of our many, many great volunteers!
