Seeking Volunteer for International Trips 2025

   22 January 2025    Coaching, International, Volunteers

The Marathon Racing Committee are seeking volunteer staff to support the GB team at its international races this year.

It’s a fun, rewarding but tiring few days travelling with our best athletes, helping them achieve their best possible results. You will be an integral part of the team and help out in a variety of ways potentially including driving, general organising, drinks changes at portages, emotional support, and safeguarding. Teams will be led by an experienced manager so new staff will be well supported and all forms of experience are welcome to volunteer. All expenses are paid, and team kit is provided.

We are looking for support staff for the following international trips in the 2025 season:

  • German National Marathon Championships – Kassel – 16-18th May
  • European Marathon Championships – Ponte-de-Lima, Portugal – 2nd-8th June
  • World Marathon Championships – Gyor, Hungary – 1st-7th September
  • French National Marathon Championships – Vernon – 27th-28th September

Travel will be around the advertised dates of the championships.
