About:
A group of the Groton-Dunstable cross country girls and boys volunteered at the Bay State marathon on Sunday for the 2nd year in a row. We managed a water stop which was at miles 12.4 and 22.5 of the marathon. The marathon brings such great energy and the student athletes buy in by cheering on the runners while providing water, Gatorade and at times identifying if an athlete needs assistance due to cramping and dehydration. Medical contacts are available in those cases. It ends up being such a great team building experience as well as they learn to work together to fill and pass out hundreds of cups of water and Gatorade over the course of 6 hours.
