Be a part of the fun without running the run!

For over 30 years, the Greater Albuquerque Association of REALTORS® (GAAR) has been a proud sponsor and coordinator of volunteers for the New Mexico BioPark's annual fundraising event, Run for the Zoo...and walk with us too!

GAAR plans to continue this important tradition in 2019, but we need YOUR help. In addition to cheering on the race participants, a variety of services are needed, such as handing out flyers, providing directions at intersections, keeping the runners safe, etc.

Register to volunteer by Friday, April 12, 2019. Children, family, friends, and colleagues - everyone is welcome to volunteer! If you have questions about the event, please contact either of the committee co-chairs:

Sherilyn Lucas, Chair, 505-710-0201
Steve Cecco, Co-chair, 505-453-6543

Volunteers should be prepared to report to their designated areas on May 5th by 6:00 am and stay until 11:30 am. Starting time may vary by team (check with your team captain for verification).

Flagging

Flagging requires additional training and certification. Please contact the flagging captain for more information!
