Volunteer at an event
What's involved
Our volunteers play a huge part in bringing our events to life, whilst supporting our runners, cyclists and walkers. We have events taking place across the UK, and we would love you to join us at one this year.
This Summer we’ll be on the streets of London, supporting our walkers, runners and riders. We are looking for volunteers to support giving them an amazing event experience with us.
By becoming an event volunteer, we’ll welcome you with open arms, tell you more about the event and send you the kit, so you’re dressed up in style for the big day!
On the day you’ll meet the team and other like-minded people, develop new skills and get some events experience. We’ll provide you with drink and refreshments to keep you fueled throughout the day, and cover some of your travel expenses. Please note, expenses are limited, so please only select those events close to you.
…the wonderful support and incredible crowd, I have never cried so much. Was lovely to have and hear the support from the Prostate Cancer team, especially at mile 17, when I was struggling a bit. To hear my name over the tannoy and being asked to do a bow - which I did - got me going again. The old legs will take a while to recover, but the memories will last forever.’
