Join the R4W Race Volunteer Team
You don’t need to run to be part of some of the biggest mass-participation events in Wales!
Our volunteers, better known as the Extra Milers, are essential in making sure that Run 4 Wales race days are a huge success. You don’t need any special skills to become an Extra Miler, just be reliable, flexible and have lots of enthusiasm!
Volunteer at the Barry Island 10k & Junior Races on Sunday 17th May
We are looking for people to help us man the water station and bag drop at the race
Bag Drop Tent: A great chance to chat to the runners before and after the race by working in the Bag Drop Tent, where runners can safely stow a bag during the race. This is located on the seafront, in the heart of the action, right next to the start and finish. We need volunteers here from 8.30am until around 12.00pm.
Water Station : Help to keep the runners hydrated by volunteering at the midway water station. This is located in Romilly Park. We need volunteers here from 9.30am until around 11.30am.
We welcome volunteers aged 14 and over. Our apologies but our volunteering roles are not suitable for those under 14. We ask that 14–17 year-olds are accompanied by an adult over 18 and gain parental consent before attending.
If you’re a local community or youth group that might be interested in getting involved across our events, we’d love to hear from you! Get in touch to find out more about our Volunteering Partnership offer.
Are you a business organisation looking for opportunities for employer supported volunteering (ESV) or corporate volunteering? Bringing a team to help out at our events is a great way to enhance your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments and offers the opportunity for your workers to enjoy a day out of the office whilst getting involved with their local community.
On event days volunteers will receive an exclusive Extra Miler t-shirt and bag, refreshments, support from an experienced Run 4 Wales supervisor and our Volunteer Coordinator, as well having a front-row seat to the action.
We’ll also provide free parking (although we encourage finding environmentally friendly ways to travel to our events when possible!). You’ll automatically become a part of the Extra Milers community gaining access to exclusive competitions, giveaways and a whole host of new friends and contacts.
Fancy a something from our merchandise store? Volunteers can claim an exclusive 10% discount on any purchase of event and Run 4 Wales apparel from Scimitar Sports. You’ll get your discount code in your event thank you email after volunteering. You can browse the range here.
We’re also proud to be a part of Tempo Time Credits. We invite all of our volunteers to sign up with Tempo, which means that every time you volunteer at one of our events, we’ll issue Tempo Time Credits that you can use to buy activities, services and products from a range of recognised partners.
