“Volunteers are essential to the success of the Detroit Free Press Marathon. They support participants and staff by distributing bibs and goodie bags, guiding runners, providing water, and handing out medals. With over 3,000 volunteers needed, it’s a great opportunity for groups like sports teams, schools, or clubs to fulfill community service hours. We appreciate our volunteers’ dedication and hard work!”
