If you signed up to volunteer for the Marathon then you should have received information via email from Phil Hinck. If you thought you signed up and did not receive the information please contact Phil immediately. We could also use a few more volunteers to work at the finish area as some people had to back out due to other commitments. Its a lot of fun as we work in the celebrity finish area and this year there will be many celebrities running including Lance Armstrong.. If interested in volunteering send Phil an email at phinck@comcast.net.
If anyone lost a Key for a Volvo please contact us at jsrc@hotmail.com

An individual who would like to organize an Expo. This year we are finishing at Convention Hall in Asbury Park with a huge party and concert in the Famous Hall. We have room for vendors to set up. this person will be responsible for coordinating all aspects of the Expo.
Special Olympics is also looking for volunteers who would like to train (run) with a Special Athlete who will competing at the World Special Olympics to be held in Beijing China. The Athlete will be representing Area 6 (Monmouth and Ocean County) and lives in the Hazlet area.
