Registration Guidelines

  • All volunteers must register individually and sign a waiver, even if volunteering as part of a group.

  • A parent or guardian may register someone under the age of 18. Volunteers under 16 require supervision during their shift, 1 adult per 5 children.

  • You may register for multiple shifts as long as the shifts do not overlap.

  • The Garmin Kansas City Marathon takes place RAIN or SHINE. The athletes and fans count on the volunteers to show up on time and complete their commitments in order to have a safe and good experience.

  • After completing online registration, volunteers will receive an automatic confirmation and detailed information closer to race day. We will text emergency notifications during race weekend if necessary.

If you have any questions, just contact us at info@sportkc.org. Thank you for all your support and generosity!
