APPLETON, Wis. (WBAY) - Dozens of volunteers prepared goodie bags for runners ahead of this year’s Community First Fox Cities Marathon.

Nearly 30 volunteers arrived at Fox Valley Technical College on Tuesday afternoon, with the goal of stuffing more than 5,000 goodie bags.

Those bags included samples, coupons, brochures, and other complimentary items.

They will be distributed to race participants throughout the event, which is scheduled to run from September 19 through the 21.

Julie Johnson, the marathon’s director, said participants are coming in from all over the United States, along with three different countries.

“You know they’re here to achieve a goal and cross that finish line the way that they want to be recognized, and these volunteers understand that,” Johnson said.
