Tip: Most events have 3-7 stations depending on distance, budget, location, volunteers, etc.
You can either set up multiple stations along a large course (5k course), or a single station around a smaller loop (ex. school parking lot). In the case of multiple stations, use a different color at each station. For the smaller loops, simply change to a new color each time the runners pass. This is a great option if you have less volunteers.
