Manchester Half Marathon 2025 Volunteering

Help in the background for a half marathon race


Location
Lancashire Cricket Club
Talbot Rd
Manchester
M16 0PX
United Kingdom
Date and time
07:30 - 14:30
Sunday, 12th of October 2025

We are part of the start team and "Back of the Pack (BOTP)" Broom Wagon team.

We will initially assist as required in the start process. Once this is finished we’ll be transported in the ‘broom wagon’ to the back of the event, getting out and supporting the runners and encouraging them if they are struggling. This will require loads of enthusiasm while also being empathetic and possibly being a good talker/listener as you go. You will be briefed and given sweets, water, etc. too.

Bring appropriate clothing, water bottle, snacks, etc. Packed lunch is provided.

Placeholder that we will have a group volunteering at the Manchester Half marathon on Sunday October 12 2025

Please also sign up via this registration link to register with the event organisers. Alternatively, you will receive an email from Volunteers no-reply@njuko.com titled Volunteer for the 2025 Manchester Half so please also register here (it is a quick form) with the event organisers/volunteer coordinators.

More information will be posted/emailed as it comes through.

I will set up a separate temporary WhatsApp group within the GoodGym MCR community group to coordinate things for the day nearer the time.
