I really like how organized everything was and how happy people felt about giving time to put this event on. I also enjoyed how grateful people are to the volunteers. I&#8217;m definitely happy to help again. I&#8217;ve enjoyed being a runner but just as happy giving my time to help set up and make the race experience for other people awesome.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bethelight5k.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/bb-plugin\/cache\/btl21-lietasmith-300x300-circle-e12d5ddedec7a6e97260765d7fc1fafd-.jpg\" alt=\"Lieta Smith\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"300\" width=\"300\" title=\"Lieta Smith\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h3>Lieta Smith<\/h3>\t\t\n\t\t\tAvg.
