Volunteer for the Flyers’ Gel Station for the 2025 NYC Marathon!
April 14 @ 8:00 am - May 14 @ 5:00 pm
Marathon Sunday - the BEST DAY in the city! - is November 2nd and if you want to be a part of it without running - this is your chance!
Help your friends, fellow Flyers, family members and 50K+ other random strangers get through the toughest point on the course by supplying life giving Maurten gels and cheers of encouragement at the Mile 18 Gel station!
Here are the details: • Two shifts available: 8am-1pm and 12pm-5:00pm • Location: 97th St and 1st Ave.
If you ask your family or friends to join us as volunteers, they will need to create a profile on the NYRR page before they can sign up for a shift (they don't need to be a member) • Please remember to designate that you (or your family/friends) are joining the station as a New York Flyer in the pull down menu so we get credit. We get an extra bib for next year's marathon for every 20 people we bring out on the day Children are welcome! You will be able to add them to your sign up or sign them up separately
Here is the link to the NYRR volunteer page: https://bit.ly/ManhattanGelStation - you may need to scroll down to find the shift - look for "Manhattan Gel Zone Volunteer." Hit register, and you will see Shift 1 and Shift 2 in the drop down menu. NYRR are filling these shifts on first come, first served basis so don't dawdle - there are only 26 shifts left for the 1st shift right now so don't wait.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me, Hiromi Nobata, directly - I'm happy to answer any questions or find the answer for you if I don't know. Just an FYI - I'm going to be running the marathon this year so you'll have 3 amazing co-captains leading the station on race day instead of me - Alice Burno, Kin Ng, and Claudia Bauer. I'm still handling the recruiting and organizing so please direct any questions to me in the meantime but on race day it will be all them! Come out and join us - it really is THE BEST DAY IN NYC!
