Event Volunteer

Our volunteers are the heart and soul of Race for Life events. However you can help, for however long, you’ll be doing something amazing. Just bring your energy, smiles and passion to the party. We’re all helping to fund life-saving cancer research. Together. Choose between hundreds of events around the country where you can help set up the Race area, support our participants around the course or hand out medals at the finish line.

Event Day Volunteer

Event day volunteer

Get stuck in wherever you're needed – from pitching flags and hanging banners to helping line up our participants and sending them on their way. Or you might be asked to help out at our buzzing finish line, where you will hand out water and medals and welcome our participants back with a smile.

Enquiries & Admin Volunteer

Event day enquiries

With the excitement of race day there's bound to be questions! You can help by supporting our participants and spectators with their queries. From simple directions to processing on-the-day entries, swapping t-shirts and replacing runner numbers.

Course Marshal & Obstacle Marshal

Cheer on our participants as they take part and lift some spirits along the way. At our Pretty Muddy events, as an Obstacle Marshal you get the opportunity to guide participants as they climb, crawl and slide their way around the Obstacles – your support will spur them on!
