UPHS Portage Community Health Coordinator Angela Luskin says that there are plenty of volunteer position still available, and duties range from tracking runner times, to working at the water stations along the route.

Volunteers play a key role in the organization and success of Canal Run each year. UPHS Portage anticipates a large number of racers, and a large crowd from the community to come out to view the race. Volunteers, of course, have the best views of the race- lining up along the canal, cheering on runners and ensuring the event runs safely.
