Event Support Volunteer (Adidas Manchester Marathon - 27 April 2025)

The UK’s second largest marathon takes place in the friendly city of Manchester. With over 36,000 people taking part it’s set to be an incredibly fun opportunity. So, join us at our cheerpoint to give some of that famous Mancunian support to our wonderful runners as they race through the city to complete their challenge.

What will you be doing?

Cheerpoint

• Join a friendly group of volunteers to encourage our runners to the finish line.
• We will provide everything you need to make some noise and paint the path green (Macmillan tabards, cowbells, clappers, pom poms etc.)
• Can’t do one of our shift times but would still like to volunteer, get in touch and we can help!

Your impact

• £110,000 raised in 2024.
