GoalCaledon Special Olympics has entered into an arrangement with Mud Hero to offer volunteer support for its 'Toronto North' event (August 24, 25, 2019, in Caledon). This local chapter of the Special Olympics will benefit from part of the proceeds raised at 'Toronto North', and those funds in turn will benefit directly the athletes, projects, and events of the Special Olympics in Caledon.The 'Mud Hero Course Marshal' plays a key role in helping that the course and the participant runners remain safe throughout the weekend, as runners challenge its many obstacles and discomforts, plus marshals will provide welcome encouragement in those tough moments so that everyone keeps going. This role combines being watchful, responsible, encouraging, and at times (likely) hands on. |
