A team of over 170 volunteers make this awesome event happen on the day. Remember, all our profit goes to charity. We guarantee you will have a fantastic day if you sign up to help volunteer.
Here is what some of the volunteers said in 2025:
“I love this morning of volunteering on the run course, I took a beat box and blasted music as the runners came up the hill, they loved it and I will be back”
“Early morning yes, but nonstop, cake from our own volunteer tent and free coffee, I really felt I had made a difference to the athletes too”.
“My first time as a volunteer and I loved it, I felt valued and loved the vibe of the whole day, I really enjoyed volunteering on the Saturday too, watching the whole event come to life”. I even got given lunch!
What you get if you volunteer:
- Wedge of home-made flapjack to get you started
