Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the 3rd Annual Shiner Beer Run Half Marathon and 5K. The race will take place on Saturday, November 22 and will be benefiting the Boot Campaign. There are 2,070 runners and walkers planning on toeing the start line at the historic Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, TX and many volunteers are needed to make this event a success. There are volunteer opportunities available in San Antonio, TX before race weekend, as well as volunteer opportunities in Shiner, TX on race weekend.

Your service hours will benefit the Boot Campaign, a non-profit organization promoting patriotism, cultivating awareness and raising funds for our troops. The campaign provides ways for Americans to show appreciation for troops, cultivate awareness of the challenges they face upon return and raise funds which are granted to programs meeting these physical and emotional needs.

In addition to the satisfaction of helping others and giving towards the Boot Campaign, all race day volunteers will receive a volunteer t-shirt and a wristband for food and beer/soda at the race finish line area available from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Volunteer opportunities are listed below with the times needed, number of volunteers needed, a summary of the job and the location. Children are welcome to volunteer if they are with a responsible adult who can ensure the child will not interfere with the runners' progress.

Please note, it will be required to attend at least 1 of the volunteer meetings to discuss race day logistics, your locations, times, parking and expectations. Volunteer meetings are scheduled as follows, in San Antonio, Monday November 17th 7PM from our iRun Texas-Bitters store and Friday, November 21st 5pm at Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner TX.
