Volunteer for Brighton’s Inaugural Marathon
One thing can be sure as we head into the Spring and that is that Brighton’s first ever 26.2 mile Marathon will take place at 9am on Sunday 18th April 2010.
If you are not already underway with your training schedule or choosing which charity you want to run for then you might be feeling a little bit left out. Well there is no need to.
To make this event happen the team at Brighton Marathon have been appealing to the whole community to take part by volunteering on the day, and the response has been immense, however we still need a few more volunteers to make this a safe and fun event and it’s a great opportunity to be part of something really new and exciting.
There will be up to 12,000 runners taking part in this exciting new event for Brighton, which will take in the city centre, fabulous stretches of coastal road, panoramic views of the South Downs and the sea. The Finish in Madeira Drive is the last stop after the final mile along the seafront with an audience of thousands of cheering spectators.
The roles on the day will be varied from marshalling roads to possible helping at the Start or Finish line which will be great fun . By being a volunteer you also get to improve your skills away from what you do on a day to day basis. Expand your people skills, use your communication skills, surprise yourself with your ability to take instruction and have a fabulous confidence boost at the end of the day when you realise you made invaluable contribution to the community and helped us raise up to £3 million pounds for charity.
So do you fancy being part of the big day without the running bit? Maybe your partner or friend is running and you want be there too.
