Who this task will support
Cancer Research UK's Race For Life
Race For Life is a series of distance races and Muddy obstacle courses aiming to raise money for life changing cancer research. We are on the lookout for keen volunteers to help with litter picking and ensuring participants recycle correctly at our recycling point on the event site.

"The Race For Life events simply could not happen without wonderful volunteers. Not only will you be getting out in the local community, but you will be helping to raise as much money as possible for life saving research."

Here are the type of roles to get involved with over the weekend...

Sun on your face, wind in your hair, mud on your trainers… Just another day at Race for Life! We’re looking for helpers to cheer on participants, help with set up and pack down, litter picking and everything in between. Could this be you?

There are four events over the weekend, including a Pretty Muddy Kids and Pretty Muddy 5k on Saturday then a 10k and 5k on Sunday. These all take place at Markeaton Park so volunteers would be based there. The start times and information about individual events are on the Race for Life website.

Please wear comfortable and suitable outdoor clothing and footwear as you'll be outdoors for the entire time. There will be a full briefing at the start of each event for volunteers.

You will need to register as a volunteer via Cancer Research UK as well as signing up to this Community Mission as a GoodGym activity.

*Pretty Muddy events 8th July - sign up to volunteer

Once you've registered as a volunteer via Cancer Research UK you will receive updates about the day including an email ahead of the event so please keep an eye out for this. These events have previously seen a parking permit emailed out from the organisers, please look out for this as you can park for free at Markeaton Park car park.

If you have any questions about this role, please email supporter.services@cancer.org.uk

PLEASE NOTE THAT A START TIME AND LENGTH FOR THIS SESSION HAS BEEN INPUT SO IT CAN BE LISTED ON THE WEBSITE, PLEASE CONFIRM WITH THE RACE FOR LIFE ORGANISING TEAM.
