Volunteer Guaranteed Entries

If you volunteered for the 2025 Credit Union Cherry Blossom, you are entitled to a guaranteed entry that will allow you to skip the lottery for the 2026 race. We are currently sending out via email guaranteed entry codes to all volunteers that will enable you to enter the race without entering the lottery. If you do not receive your code by December 15, check your spam or junk email folder, and if you still don’t see the email, contact our Volunteer Coordinator at nita@cherryblossom.org. Thanks so much for volunteering!

We hope that you (or your family and friends) will volunteer for 2026!

We will need over 2,000 volunteers (some on Friday and lots more on Saturday and Sunday) to conduct the 2026 event. No experience necessary, just a willingness to help out.

We appreciate our volunteers. Not only will you help put on the finest 10 mile race in the nation, you’ll be getting something extra for your efforts…

• 2026 Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Long Sleeve Volunteer T-Shirt
• Transferable, Guaranteed Entry (at prevailing entry fee) to 2027 race.
• Attention Students:  We offer Student Service Learning (SSL) hours for each shift worked.

So, if you don’t get into the race through the lottery this year, or if you just aren’t able to run this year, sign up to volunteer and obtain your guaranteed race entry for next year. Encourage your non-running spouse or friend(s) to volunteer. The 2027 guaranteed race entry they will receive for volunteering is transferable, so they can volunteer, and you can be guaranteed entry next year!
