Volunteer Fursuiting for So Cal Locals
11 years ago
Hey So Cal furries!
If you've been looking for a fun event to do a little suiting and
interact with the public, I've got the perfect venue for ya'.
My running group, the Orange County Frontrunners, in conjunction
with the service organization Gay for Good, is manning a water station
for the Long Beach International Marathon on Sunday, October 12, 2014.
Yes, that's this Sunday.
I'm a terrible organizer...
We will be setting up our water station at mile 9, which is right on the beach
just south of Belmont Plaza. This water station will service both the half
and full marathons, so we will have a ton of thirsty folks depending on
us for hydration and motivation.
The motivation part is where the fursuits come into play.
Image being greeted by a group of giant bouncy animals as
you enter the middle of the race. What could be better than that?
This is something that literally thousands of runners will never forget.
If you don't want to suit, but still want to volunteer, we are always
in need of extra paws to help hand out water and cheer on the runners.
If you're interested, leave a response here or shoot me a note or hit me up on Twitter.
Or just show up!
This will be an early morning event, and because the streets are closed for the race
we must be parked and at the water station by 5:00 am.
I know, ouch.
But think of the glory!
Anyway, here is a link to the race website: http://www.runlongbeach.com/
Here is a map showing where mile 9 is located: http://runlongbeach.com/wp-content/...../Half-Full.pdf
I anticipate the last runners should be coming through by 9:30 am, so we will break down and leave
after that. You are free to stay as long or a little as you want, based on where you parked and road closures and such.
Note that we are located on Rosie's Dog Beach.
Coincidence? I think not...

Folks need to realize that there are opportunities everywhere you look, it's just a matter of finding the guts to ask.
I'd go if I lived out your way.
I wish you were nearby, my friend, as you'd be the perfect motivator for
a whole lot of runners.
Gosh that sounds like so much fun!
Wish you were here!
Thank you very much for your interest!
on Sunday morning. I hope to park in the metered lot just south
of the Belmont Plaza pool. The roads will be closed for the race
if you come later, so you'd have to park further away.
I'll be twittering and such so you can catch me there, and thank you!
gunna bring quarters. I secretly hope to find some free
parking on the street because I'm cheap like that...
I will bring my changing tent, which is not luxurious
but you're welcome to use it !
This could be good...
The addition of a friendly collie would make the team complete.
Nah, just kidding. Make sure everyone stays hydrated, and have fun
You are so cute.
Thank you! I'm only cute when I'm a giant doggie.
Wow, very cool. Thank you.
Let me know if you need further info.
Otherwise, I'll see you there!
Sadly that little matter of 1700 miles will keep me from attending to keep you inline. So if I here that you where a bad boy, off to the vet for you for that "special visit" boy doggies have to he vet.
Will that help?
Thank you so much for your kind words
and congrats on your achievement!
