Volunteer for the Run

For everyone to have a good time and to ensure that The Run '11 takes place safely it needs people to help. So, if you are not taking part as a runner, jogger or walker why not register as an event volunteer?

There are a variety of roles available:

• Event set-up / take-down - barriers, staging, PA's, displays, etc
• Handing out refreshments at the water stations (on course and at the finish)
• Controlling the crossing point in the town centre area
• Directing the runners along the right course (cheering, encouraging and giving them a boost along the way!)
• Handing out medals and goody bags at the finish
• Controlling road closure points, ensuring vehicles cannot get onto the course.

All volunteers will be well looked after by a professional team and each volunteer will receive a special t-shirt, food, refreshments and a goody bag. Volunteering is all about having fun, helping others and learning new skills and The Run '11 is the perfect opportunity to experience all of this!

It's really easy to register as a volunteer at Team Northants and get involved with The Run 11, just follow the following steps:
