With the 2023 MK Marathon Weekend fast approaching, organisers are looking for volunteers to help ensure everything runs smoothly. Want to do your bit? Sign up today to get involved!
From marshals on the course route, to volunteers in the event village at Campbell Park, the 2023 MK Marathon Weekend on 30 April - 1 May needs you!
Volunteers are promised a fun and rewarding experience, while giving something back to running and to our much-loved Milton Keynes on the Early May Bank Holiday Weekend.
Every volunteer will receive a quality ’city themed’ technical t-shirt, a volunteer badge – and a free Subway lunch if you volunteer on Monday 1 May.
The event requires nearly 350 volunteers and are supported by professional course captains and course directors who help to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Volunteers come in all shapes and sizes, from individuals, businesses, and charities, to community groups, running clubs, sports clubs, and groups of friends.
Businesses are also being invited to man a section close to their premises, with the race route passing through or near Campbell Park, Willen, Fox Milne, Milton Keynes Village, Middleton, Monkston Park, Walton Park, Simpson, Tinkers Bridge, Woughton on the Green, and Woolstone.
Race Director and Founder Andy Hully - who has himself volunteered at other marathons so he knows what he is asking of his own volunteers – said: “We always like it when running clubs put forward volunteers too – they are the perfect volunteers really, as they know how to support the runners because they know just what it’s like to be taking part in the race!
"We look after all our volunteers well as the event couldn’t take place without them. They do a brilliant job, put in so much effort, give so much support and make it all possible. We give them their briefing, t-shirt, badge, and a free Subway lunch! They always enjoy it; it’s fun and rewarding – especially if you do it in a big group with your colleagues or friends.”
