Race to Cure Sarcoma Austin 5K

The Race to Cure Sarcoma (RTCS) is the premier 5K Run/Walk series in the United States, focused on raising awareness and important research funds for sarcoma. Sarcoma is a rare cancer found in adults and nearly 20% of all childhood cancers. Through the Race to Cure Sarcoma events, sarcoma patients, survivors, caregivers, medical professionals, and people who have lost a loved one, all come together as a community to support innovative research for better treatments and an end to sarcoma.

Join our movement to help people impacted by sarcoma. Volunteer to support the Sarcoma Foundation of America (SFA), in one of the following key areas:

• Registration: Greet participants as they arrive at the registration tent. Assist with distribution of the race bibs and handing out t-shirts to pre-registered participants.
• Course Marshals: Assist with directing participants. Volunteers are positioned along the course to provide safety for the runners/walkers from automobiles, bikes, and other participants.
• Finish Line: Cheer and encourage participants as they cross the finish line. Hand out finisher medals to participants.
• Water Stations: Set up water station tables. Hand out water to participants along the course and at the finish line.
