Ambassadors selected by the Greenway will receive free entry to four races, eight guest passes to the Greenway and race shirts.
How to Apply & Qualifications

Your job is to inspire! Training for your first 5K? Share your journey on TikTok! Tackling your tenth trail half marathon? Spread trail love on Instagram! Tag us in at least three social shares prior to each race, or inspire friends at your favorite run club.
Ambassadors need to complete at least three of our four races and must be 18 years of age or older.
