Volunteering

We need help throughout the event, from sweeping the Event Village on the Undercliff to ensure it's free and safe from stones and debris, to putting up signage and banners, assisting at the start/finish line, marshalling the route, handing out medals and goodies, and clearing the event site at the end of the day.

We’re also looking for volunteers who can bake excellent homemade cakes to offer to runners (and volunteers) at the finish line.

If you have any questions about volunteering at the 8K, please contact us directly at [email protected] - we appreciate any time and help you can spare and couldn't run our events without you!

*please note - under-13s cannot volunteer at the 8K, and under-18s must have parental consent*
