Sign up here if you would like to be a Saturday run leader in the fall!
Some location ideas for the fall - Seattle Arboretum - Cool fall colors, North Creek Trail, Centennial Trail in Snohomish, Newcastle Beach, Cedar River Trail (Salmon Run)
Look for your ballot soon for the ESR board elections. Voting will be open from Sep 1 to Sep 8.
Sign up to be a run leader either on 7/29 or 8/5 here. First time run leaders or first time since the last year leaders will receive the exclusive ESR running cap.
All Mt Si Volunteers will get a choice of one item including:
A portion of the proceeds are donated to two charities; Mountains to Sound Greenway and Girls on the Run.
In addition, the volunteers will assist and cheer on fellow runners that are in the solo races or the team relay.
After the Saturday April 8 run at Klahanie Park, we will be selling past years Mt Si shirts to ESR members. There are 9 different years of shirts in a variety of colors and fabrics, shown in the photo. Cost is just $7.50 each. Have your credit card ready!
Mt Si Volunteer SWAG update/opportunity
You can choose to have one of the past year's shirts as your Swag of choice for volunteering if you commit to sign up at the Klahanie Run. If you are a super person and sign up for multiple shifts, like some of you have done, you get one SWAG item per shift!
If you would like one of these shirts and you have already signed up, you can select a shirt as your complimentary volunteer swag on April 8 instead of one of the other swag options on race day.

We have had a generous offer made by the team of Katheryn Hayes and Dan Herron to make and deliver 100 bagels if 100 people sign up to volunteer at the 2023 Mt Si Relay before the end of day Sunday March 19th, 2023.
If you are considering volunteering but are waiting to sign up, now is a great time.
Sign up using this link to volunteer at the April 23, 2023 Mt Si Relay and Ultras. Volunteers do not have to be ESR members.
For those of you who have already signed up, ask if any of your running pals, friends, co-workers, significant others and family members can help meet this challenge. There are lots of locations to work together.
As of this posting, we are at 45 volunteers, so we have a bunch of recruiting to do in a short amount of time.
Plus, a homemade bagel if we can meet the challenge! Orders will be taken right after the 19th, once again if the challenge is met.
As a reminder, the proceeds of this event benefits our club and two charities; Mountains to Sound Greenway and Girls on the Run.
We will be sending out regular progress reports on this challenge via the ESR website.
