Dawna Holowell

Volunteer Coordinator

I have been the volunteer coordinator for the Gulf Coast Runners since 2017. Prior to this I was new to running. My oldest and dearest friend signed me up for a 5k in February 2015 and I got hooked. I started volunteering as I believe in giving back to your community. With GCR being a non-profit , it was a win-win. When I was asked to take over as Volunteer Coordinator , I said yes without hesitation.

I have multiple goals as Volunteer Coordinator. The first and most important goal is to keep all participants and volunteers safe. The second is to give the participants a positive experience so they continue to participate in our races and spread the word to other runners on how our races are a more positive experience. The third goal is to get the students in the area more involved with GCR races by providing volunteer hours.

I love what I do for the Gulf Coast Runners and will continue to look for areas of improvement. I hope to see you soon either out in the community or running at a race!
