Lead volunteers must be willing to attend two 1 hour training sessions - one in June and one in August. Applications for Lead volunteers are available on the Air Force Marathon's website, www.usafmarathon.com, and are being accepted through April 18. A total of 2,300 Air Force Marathon volunteers will participate in the 2014 event. Regular volunteer positions will be posted online beginning May 1. "The marathon staff and our runners rely heavily on our lead volunteers" said Jeanette Monaghan, Volunteer Coordinator. "Several of our experienced leads will not be returning after this year, it's imperative we start training new lead volunteers to ensure a smooth transition in the following years".
