Event Description:

Yulefest is a holiday road race through Harvard Square.

Long before Christmas, there was a quirky winter festival named "Yule" that people really loved. Join us on 12/10/17 for a 5K race that takes the holidays back to their old school roots!

The race starts & finishes in front of Harvard Yard and is immediately followed by an epic block party at the Parking lot on Church Street that's sponsored by four local craft brewers.

Volunteering includes a Yulefest Hat and admission to the post-race Yule party (21+) featuring an awesome mix of old school hip hop & holiday favorites!

Your participation helps local charities and also supports One Brick Boston!

What we'll be doing:

Waterstop: pre-pouring water and Gatorade in cups, handing water to runners, raking up used cups
Bag Check: greeting runners, organizing bags after they are dropped off, helping runners pick up bags after the race
Timing Company Assistance: Assist race timing company with recording manual times as back up; training to be provided before the race starts.
Finish Line Waterstop: Handing out water at finish line and congratulating runners

What you should know:

All volunteers receive a knit hat + free admission to the post-race block party sponsored by Slumbrew, Notch, and Bantam Cider (ALL food & beer is complimentary and the party goes from 10:00a - 1:00p).
