What will I receive as a volunteer?
Race Crew members receive a New Forest Marathon t-shirt, light refreshments and a race day parking permit.
What if my community group wants to volunteer?
Community groups are our inspiration. Thank you! Get in touch with us directly and we can discuss how we can best work together. Moreover, we’re keen that volunteering benefits your organisation too.
We have a long history of supporting local groups and organisations — and we want that to keep growing.
In this way, if your group volunteers with us, we’ll look at how we can give back to your organisation, or support local projects that your organisation is involved in as a way to show our appreciation.
