Come along and help local running group York Knavesmire Harriers run their annual Brass Monkey Half Marathon which starts at York Racecourse. This is a very popular race with a great atmosphere and lots of local runners. There will be a variety of roles, from indoor tasks such as baggage drop to outdoor jobs such as marshalling, car park marshalling and manning the water stations. It is expected that volunteers would need to be available from 8.30am. The race starts at 10am and should be finished by 12.45pm. Please comment here if there's a particular role you'd like to do and we will try and accommodate people's preferences as much as possible.

As a thank-you, all volunteers will receive a club memento.

If you register by 13th October 2025, you can choose one of the following: - A Brass Monkey Top (choose your size) - A half-pint engraved glass - A Brass Monkey boot bag

After this date, mementos will be allocated randomly based on availability, so get in early!

Further information regarding roles, timings, etc will be posted nearer the time.
