Volunteer at the London Marathon

The club is honoured and privileged to be part of the volunteer team that makes the magic happen at each year's London Marathon

This valuable assistance takes 2 forms:

1. We provide the people for two baggage lorries. This involves us taking control of the allocated baggage lorries within the finish area of the race and ensuring that each piece of baggage gets back to the appropriate runner as quickly and efficiently as possible.
2. We also operate an elite drinks station situated in the final couple of miles of the race. It is our responsibility to ensure that the specialist drinks used by the elite runners are readily available for them as they pass our station.

These teams are organised by our club secretary and if you would like to assist you should drop the secretary an e-mail. We try to have a mixture of experienced and inexperienced members every year so that knowledge gets transferred.

Volunteering places are allocated first come first served and sign up is usually just before christmas, around the time the ballot is drawn - keep an eye for updates in the newsletter.
