The Forest Park Cross Country Festival would not be the meet that it is without the help of volunteers. The festival is always looking for volunteers who would like to serve as course marshals, finish line crew, concession stand workers, etc. We have shifts that still allow to watch races, too! Shifts are as short as 1.5 hours. Please consider volunteering to help make the meet run smoothly and efficiently.
