You can earn free registration to the Mayapple Trail Runs by volunteering three times at a South Mountain Conservancy program, either Trail Work, Forest Regeneration or Trash Tackler events. Race day volunteers are also eligible for a 50 percent discount for a race that occurs the year after their volunteer service. Here's all you need to do:
Volunteer before the race at a SMC event
Find a trail maintenance or forest regeneration activity on the South Mountain Conservancy Meetup page (http://www.meetup.com/somocon/). Events start in April and the calendar will be updated in March with event dates.
Take a photo of yourself participating in the event.
"Like" the South Mountain Conservancy on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/SouthMountainConservancy) and post the photo of yourself participating in the volunteer activity.
Send an email to mayappletrailruns@somocon.org once you've posted the photo on the Facebook page.
We'll send you a discount code you can use during registration that will reduce the race fee: four to ten hours, 50 percent off; more than ten hours, free registration.
