The Detroit Free Press Marathon is seeking volunteers to help support thousands of runners during race weekend in October.
Several races will take place Oct. 16-18 for the Detroit Free Press Marathon's 49th year. Organizers say they have an increased need for volunteers on Sunday, Oct. 18, when the marathon and half-marathons – the weekend's largest races – take place. Those races are sold out.
"Volunteers are essential to the success of the Detroit Free Press Marathon," according to the event's website. "They support participants and staff by distributing bibs and goodie bags, guiding runners, providing water, and handing out medals."
No experience is needed to volunteer for the races.
