by Marathon Kids UK

Marathon Kids UK is looking for volunteers to be the Community Ambassador and support team for their new event at Brunswick Park.
Community Ambassadors are amazing people who set up and lead the Marathon Kids UK events and manage the team of volunteers.
General volunteers are people who love to get involved in their community and be part of a team supporting the Community Ambassador to deliver all aspects of the event. No experience is needed as all training is given.
Marathon Kids UK events involve:
Setting up the 250m track (4 corner flagpoles)
Welcoming children and families
Leading fun running-based warm up games
Organising relay races, and 20 minutes endurance run
Leading celebrations of all achievements made
