Bicycle Bananas

The Rock-n-River Marathon, Half Marathon and 10k races are once again gearing up to produce their 3rd Annual event. Record numbers of athletes are expected and volunteer race crew members that provide traffic control and security along the race course are critical to the success of the events.

This year the race crew Bicycle Team has been enlarged and emphasized to enhance the quality and safety of all the activities. An organized group of 8 bicycle riders will lead, monitor and follow all three runs joining a group of over 50 marshals that will be on foot.

They need 8 bicycle riders to volunteer for this group. It should be lots of fun and a worthy contribution to events in Reno and our local economy. A few “foot” race crew members are still needed too. If interested, please contact Catherine at 846-0706 or catemcf14@aol.com .

All race crew members will enjoy a nice dinner at the El Dorado Friday night at 6pm/mandatory, race crew t-shirt, and a personal name badge. Transportation for foot crew to and from the traffic support positions will be provided. All crew members will also receive a safety vest and complimentary food and beverages on race morning. Check-in time is 5:45am on Sunday, May 2nd, on Virginia Street under the Reno Arches for the foot group (look for the tent that says “Command Center”). Bicycle Team members will report 30 minutes before the event they are assigned.

We hope to put 2-3 bicycle riders with each race ( full marathon, half marathon, and 10k). The races will start in waves, with the marathon going at 6:30am, followed by the half at 7:00am, and finally the 10k at 7:30am. The 10k and possibly the half marathon riders will probably help with the kids race after their events and then may continue to support the marathon. All riders are also welcome to come early if they like.
