Close to 1,000 community members volunteered at the Marathon on November 5. Families and individuals served as Course Monitors and helped at the Recovery Zone while 30 groups volunteered at water stations, and cheer teams from local high schools handed out medals at the Finish Line. For the first time, all water stations were manned by groups, including Girl Scout Troops, Cub Scout Packs, church groups, schools, school clubs, and businesses. New groups included Nike Clearance Store, Hart High School’s National Honor Society, Key Club Division 16 North, Trinity Classical Academy, Valencia High School’s Unicef Chapter, Saugus High Dance Team, and Gervais School of Performing Arts.
