Welcome to RUN AUSTIN® Volunteering

Be a part of the action and make a difference by supporting the runners, walkers, guests, and staff as part of the Ascension Seton Austin Marathon, Half Marathon, and 5K

Volunteers play a crucial role in various areas, including the start & finish line, packet pick-up, information booths, and water distribution. But most importantly, you’ll be bringing the energy and enthusiasm that motivates our runners all the way to the finish line!

Getting Started

This year we’re introducing a new system, Rosterfy, to make sign-up and scheduling easier.
All volunteers will need to create a new account—even if you’ve volunteered with us before. Once you have an account you can then sign up for volunteer shifts.

  1. Click the button below to create your Rosterfy account.
  2. Go to your dashboard and select your event:
    1. – Ascension Seton Austin Marathon
    2. – Spurs Austin International Half
  3. Choose the role and shift that works best for you and click Apply Now.
  4. Your shifts will appear on your Volunteer Portal dashboard.

👉 Tip: Add your shifts to your calendar and watch for a confirmation email. Some roles may require additional profile questions or short training before approval.
