Miscellaneous
When a race starts high up in the mountain, early in the morning, having warm clothes and a blanket while waiting at the starting line is a must. And of course you want to be able to pick all that gear up at the finish line. And with the AF Canyon Run Against Cancer, it is waiting for you at the finish line. How? Well, with a lot of commitment, smarts, hard work and a good plan — all of which race volunteer Ryan Hecox has in spades. But “Race Volunteer” doesn’t even begin to cover Ryan, because Ryan’s day job is as a physicist, working behind the scenes to help people get their radiation treatment exactly right as they fight cancer. And he does it all with a big smile on his face.
