12th Annual B.A.A. Half Marathon
Presented by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and The Jimmy Fund

Sunday, October 7, 2011 

Please accept our sincere thanks for helping to make the 11th annual B.A.A. Half Marathon a great success this past October. We are hopeful that the B.A.A. Half Marathon will continue to be a welcomed tradition in the running community and realize the instrumental role that you, as a volunteer, play in achieving this goal.

You helped to host 7,000 runners from the start to the finish line, contributing to the overall positive race experience enjoyed by the athletes. We are grateful to have worked with you as a capable and enthusiastic volunteer corps for this event and fully realize the extent to which the volunteers help every participating athlete feel like a champion. We hope that you will continue to support us as a volunteer at some of our other events throughout the year.

Again, thank you for your hard work and commitment - you are appreciated.

Special thanks to our dedicated running clubs, who volunteer with us every year:

Cambridge Running Club
Central Mass Striders
Heartbreak Hill Striders
Parkway Running Club
Run for the Memory, Alzheimer's Association
Shamrock Running Club
Somerville Road Runners
Wampanoag Road Runners

“We had a great day today; fantastic race as always. I just wanted to let you know how honored we are to be able to help out at the B.A.A. events. It really is a great time and we have a lot of fun. We are a very enthusiastic bunch for an early Sunday morning. And on B.A.A. volunteer days we are extra happy because we are not running. LOL!!” – Kim Wamback, Central Mass Striders Volunteer

“I had an awesome time and our Team Captain Brian was a great person to work with; can not wait to sign up again for future events.” – Freddie Sanchez, Volunteer

“Your staff and volunteers are tremendous – encouraging in every aspect of the event – from baggage check to picking up my trophy – I mean tee-shirt. The folks at the course amenities were super – full of energy and encouragement – even the greeters and shuttle drivers were just positive all the way around.” - Jeanne, B.A.A. Half Marathon Finisher

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to volunteer on Sunday. It was such an amazing experience being on the other side of the race. It was great to meet you.. and I had a lot of fun!!!" - Jessica, Run for the Memory Team Volunteer
