Volunteer
Here at Run Leicester, we are entirely dependent on the kindness and generosity of hundreds of volunteers. Without our volunteers, Run Leicester would not be possible. Roles are incredibly varied and we are always on the lookout for people to help both at the event and in the build up to the big day. From marshalling to handing out medals and recruiting runners, you can make a real difference. If you’re interested in going the extra mile and volunteering in any capacity, please do get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!
