Event Volunteer - Stockport Race for Life 2026

REF: 69832bb6774d2

Stockport Race for Life is taking place at Woodbank Memorial Park on Sunday 7th June 2026, and we are in need of volunteers to support our participants!

We have many volunteering roles on offer at our events:

Event Site Volunteer
Setting up and packing down the event. This may include helping to set up the course and marshal stations, putting up marquees and flags, getting water to the finish line and clearing up after the event has finished.

Course Marshal
You could be located at one of our Course Marshal points, cheering and encouraging our participants and helping them to navigate their way around the course.

Enquiries Volunteer
You'll help answer queries from participants and spectators during the event. This could include anything from simple directions to processing on-the-day entries, and of course being a friendly and welcoming face to our participants.

Cycle Volunteer
You will guide, support and motivate participants by cycling parts of the route. This role requires that you bring your own bike, suitable to the terrain of the course.
