Yesterday, I had a great opportunity to attend at the BMO Marathon as a volunteer. It was Canada's largest marathon, with 18,000 runners. The weather was delightfully sunny and warm. The marathon should start at 8.30 but I met with our team captain Andrea and other volunteers at 7.30 a.m. at the our station. Our location was on the corner Blanka St. at 16th Ave. First of all, we got some instruction from our trainers about what we should do. After that we started to prepare water and power bars jell for runners. The trainer warned us about that we will be getting about 5 runners at the 1 sec when it started. We decided to share our work between each other. When it started we all of us were are ready. Some volunteers filled water to water cups, others gave it to runners, another offered power bars to them. It seemed there exciting. At the same point, the runners got so much that they started bumping into each other because someone didn't stop when they picked up water. The cups with water fall down and the water splashed everywhere. It was hilarious. The runners were strong and didn’t give up. I think, we did a hard and wonderful job. It was really exciting. Definitely, I’ll take a part of other events as a volunteer because it has given me a good experience and a lot of fun. Finally, we took some picture our team. One of them I share with you.
