Essentia Health Fargo Marathon

Fargo, North Dakota

Kevin Christensen Volunteer

Race Recap By Kevin Christensen:

I volunteered at the 20th Annual Essentia Health Fargo Marathon in Fargo, North Dakota today. I usually try to volunteer if I’m not running so just walked up to the volunteer tent and said I’m from Ohio and here to help . I was given a shirt and an orange vest and assigned volunteer duties that included:
Gear check – taking in and organizing bags.
Setting up and unpacking bananas at the banana tables(bananas were too green for anyone to want)
Setting up the fruit chew snacks.
Back to gear check to give runners back their gear checked bags as they finished the 10K, half, and full marathon.
Gear check is a very busy job but we had help from the local Army ROTC.
