Rooms To Go

Volunteer Registration Is Open!

The Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic Race Weekend Events would not be what they are today
without the thousands of Rooms To Go, Volunteers, that every year give of themselves
and step up to their own Start Line.

There are many different groups and individual volunteer opportunities pre-race, post-race, and/or during the Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic 15K & 5K or Publix Gasparilla Half Marathon & 8K. All volunteers receive an official Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic Rooms To Go Volunteer T-Shirt.

If you have a group interested in volunteering, don’t hesitate to contact our Volunteer Coordinator for more information. kitty@RunGasaprilla.com or phone at (813) 254-7866.
