Opportunities to help ORC and our running community
Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community by supporting the Omaha Running Club’s events held throughout the year.
Anyone can volunteer!
If for any reason you are unable to participate in an event, you can stay active and support your fellow runners by volunteering!
volunteer@omaharun.org
BONUS
All volunteers receive a 5 point volunteer ticket for each day they help at one or more of our events!
Volunteer tickets expire 3 years after the event date shown on each ticket. Volunteer tickets can be used to purchase ORC items at the ORC Gear Sales table available at our events several times a year. Volunteer tickets can also be used to purchase Omaha Running Club membership.

TRAIL CLEAN UP
The Omaha Running Club is passionate about keeping our trails safe and beautiful. We work with Keep Omaha Beautiful and host trail cleanups several times each year.
