USBTA needs volunteers this Sunday, and this is one of those moments where Indian Head can show up for a partner that shows up for us.
The United States Bomb Technician Association is one of our community partners and part of our community fabric. They support the base, invest in Indian Head, strengthen public-safety capability, and help connect the people, tools, training, and relationships that keep difficult work moving forward. We know them, we appreciate them, and we want to help them have a strong morning at the Barrel Oak Wine Run 5K.
Volunteer Call: Help USBTA Sunday Morning
When: Sunday, June 7, 2026, from 7:30am to 10:30am
Where: Barrel Oak Winery and Brewery, 3623 Grove Lane, Delaplane, VA 20144
Help needed: check-in before the race, finisher medals, water after the race, and finish photos using the race company’s camera.
Transportation: carpooling options may be available to help volunteers get there. Reach out to ask and coordinate.
To volunteer: email nmotsek@usbta.us or call/text 202.549.0331.
For volunteers: the immediate need is simple and practical: a few more people Sunday morning to help the race run smoothly. Volunteers should contact USBTA directly at nmotsek@usbta.us or 202.549.0331. If transportation is a concern, ask about carpooling options when you reach out.
For runners, walkers, and attendees: the Barrel Oak Wine Run 5K begins at 9:00am. Participants can register through RunSignup, and supporters who cannot volunteer can still help by registering, donating, attending, or sharing the call for volunteers.
Race registration includes chip timing, a shirt, finisher medal, race bib, posted results, and a post-race wine pour for eligible participants. Packet pickup is race-day only and opens one hour before the race starts.
USBTA’s mission is directly tied to the kind of community-building Voice of Indian Head wants to support: connecting bomb technicians with tomorrow’s capabilities, strengthening trust and collaboration across the bomb disposal community, and supporting realistic training for active bomb technicians.
Best way to help right now: volunteer if you can. If you cannot, register to run or walk, donate, attend, or share this with someone who may be available Sunday morning.
