Be a race-day superhero (cape optional)! You’ll cheer loud, point runners in the right direction, and rock a safety vest while helping keep intersections safe (yep, you might even stop a car like a boss). This front-row spot puts you right in the action—guiding, hyping, and making sure every runner stays on course. High-fives encouraged, loud cheering required.
