April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, an important month of recognition and celebration at New York Road Runners as our organization could not exist without the year-round assistance of tens of thousands of volunteers to help us serve runners. In episode four, the NYRR team discusses all things volunteering. In our “How” segment, Coach Annick and Coach Roberto interview Mary Haskins, Senior Manager of Volunteer Operations at NYRR, as she offers us some behind-the-scenes glimpses at what volunteering looks like at the TCS New York City Marathon. And in our “Why” segment, Shaquana chats with Harvey Klein, a veteran NYRR volunteer who has volunteered at the New York City Marathon for over 40 years. Harvey discusses his role as a volunteer ham radio operator, assisting in the extremely important race-day communications that are integral to executing the race successfully and safely.
