Making SORC Possible

Volunteers are truly the at the heart of the Sandhills Open Road Challenge. Our volunteers are the sole reason that we can hold our fantastic events. Volunteers of all ages graciously give their time and effort to put on the SORC activities. Groups from schools, clubs, and churches have volunteered to help with many tasks over the years.

If you or your group is interested in volunteering for one of the duties below, please contact a board member or send us a message at your earliest convenience.

Information for Race Day Course Volunteers

You know the saying, “It takes a village…” Well, it certainly takes a village to put on an open road race! Each year we rely on dozens of volunteers to keep the race running smoothly and look out for everyone’s safety. Our race day course workers are essential to a successful race day.
