PLEASE VOLUNTEER!

Being part of Reston Runners means more than showing up for a run — it means belonging to a community that supports, encourages, and inspires one another. Our club offers so much: well‑planned and well‑marked courses, hydration support, social events, training programs, and races that bring people together. None of this happens by accident. It happens because members step forward to help.


Now it’s your turn.

Reston Runners thrives when everyone contributes. Course marking, program support, social event coordination, race operations — these activities have long been carried by a small group of dedicated volunteers and Board members. It’s time to share the load and strengthen the club by getting more members involved.

If you’ve benefited from Reston Runners, consider giving back. Say “yes” when asked, or jump in proactively by signing up for a volunteer role. Every contribution matters, and every role helps keep our community moving.


Volunteer Opportunities     Some Volunteer Opportunities are only available to our members.
