I love volunteering for the running of the hogs. This is my second time to work the race and it gets better each year. I am not a runner so its fun to be apart of the atmosphere without running! Our job was to help guide racers down the correct path and we also were tasked with cheering, shouting, and clapping whenever racers set out on the race and finished. I think everyone at the race benefitted from our services. I hope it works out that I can volunteer for the race my senior year!

This is my second time volunteering for the Running of the Hogs. It is such a fun way to give back to the university and network with families in the Northwest Arkansas community. I got to be apart of the runners atmosphere by guiding them through the race and showing them where to go without having to run the race (Im not a runner!) It is a fun and I took away that I hope I can come back and run through the university once Im an alum!

The race was such a fun way to get involved and serve the campus. It was so exciting to be in person and on the actual campus. As a freshman this was one of the first things I've done that seemed almost "normal." I volunteered as a race official and gave runners water, made sure they stayed on the path, and most importantly cheered for them! It was so fun and I hope to volunteer for this event next year!
