About: Every spring the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Campus Recreation Department hosts an on-campus run/walk in honor of Dr. Ed Burke, former professor of Exercise Science and renowned researcher at UCCS. Dr. Burke served as a friend and mentor to many in the Campus Recreation Department and had great influence on the University and the athletic community. While on a mountain bike ride in November 2002, he tragically passed due to a sudden heart attack.
Volunteer activities include helping with course set up, participant check-in, water stations, and more. Campus Recreation will provide volunteers a Bash the Bluffs t-shirt, coffee/water, and snacks.
A pre-event Zoom call will be offered to all volunteers. Date is TBD (call will occur one to two weeks before the event). The session will be recorded for those unable to join the meeting live.
Time Commitment: Volunteers should plan to volunteer for a minimum of two hours. If possible we ask volunteers to commit to the entire five hours of volunteer time, but if you are unable to stay the entire time that is okay, please communicate your schedule preference at the pre-event volunteer meeting.
Qualifications: Volunteers can be alumni or friends of UCCS.
Impact: Your volunteer support allows UCCS to put on an exceptional event. Having volunteers allows us to ensure race safety and fun for all participants!
