Students! Entertainers! We need you!
|
The Miles with the Giant race weekend provides many great ways for local high school students to get involved in this exciting running event.
Need volunteer hours towards a school credit?
Help out on race weekend as a volunteer for set-up and take down, at runner registration, to provide direction along the race course, or at runner storage/lost & found.
Want to run the event?
Register to run individually or enter a school team of 5 people in the marathon-relay. School teams will compete for coveted bragging rights and a trophy to display in your school's trophy case.
Musicians, Dancers & Cheerleaders:
We need entertainers to add some pizzazz along the race course and at the start/finish line. Buskers, bands, cheerleaders and dance troops are welcome to strut your stuff for our runners and spectators.

Celebrating Community Collaboration
|
Miles with the Giant would not be such an accomplishment without the support of the community! We are so thrilled to have a number of fantastic community organizations volunteer with the 4th annual Miles with the Giant. Hospice Northwest, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Military Family Resource Centre, Volunteer Thunder Bay!, Dynamite Cheer and Soroptimist International of Thunder Bay will be out in full force on race day cheering on the participants while getting their names out in the community! - Hospice Northwest was founded in 1987 and is dedicated to providing compassionate support to individuals and their families living with a life limiting illness or those in need of grief and bereavement support.
- As Canada's leading child and youth mentoring charity, Big Brothers Big Sisters facilitates life-changing relationships that inspire and empower children and youth to reach their potential, both as individuals and citizens.
-
The Thunder Bay Military Family Resource Centre was established in 1999. It is their mission to enhance the quality of life and to enrich the military experience for Canadian Forces families in Thunder Bay, by providing specialized programs and services to promote health, education and social well being.
-
Since 1970, Volunteer Thunder Bay! has been a leader in the development of volunteer participation.
Volunteer Thunder Bay! is one of 35 volunteer centres in Ontario and 200 across Canada. Their programs and services benefit both agencies that utilize volunteers and individuals interested in volunteering.
-
Dynamite Cheer is a organization committed to helping each child become the best athlete they can be, while ensuring they become champions in cheerleading and in life. Their hope is that their athletes will take the character traits learned in the gym, and move them onto their next phase in life!
-
Soroptimist is a global women's organization whose members volunteer to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment. More than 80,000 Soroptimists in about 120 countries and territories support community-based and global projects benefiting women and girls. The organization is particularly concerned with providing women and girls access to education, as this is the most effective path to self-determination.
Miles with the Giant is always looking to expand our reach throughout the community and welcome any organization, group or club to volunteer at this wonderful event for the city of Thunder Bay. Donations to your organization can be provided in exchange for 18+ volunteers to act as road marshals on race day.
