We're looking for enthusiastic event volunteers to join us at our CHEER POINT on Sunday 25th May 2025. Cheering on our amazing runners with words of encouragement gives them a much-needed boost along the route!
We will have our cheer point along the route corner of Restalrig Avenue and Craigentinny Avenue at mile 4.
By volunteering with us you’ll be vital in motivating our amazing runners!
We need volunteers that can spare a few hours – so if you have friends and family running, or just want to soak up the amazing atmosphere, why not come and join us on the day?
The cheering point is a team effort, so as a volunteer you would also help with setting up the cheer point, giving out t-shirts and cheering materials, making sure the area is kept tidy and helping with packing down.
Together the team will be motivating our runners, spurring them on their way round the course.
Available on the day of the event from 9:30am to 1pm
Be enthusiastic, friendly, creative, flexible, fun and willing to get stuck in!
Cheering, clapping, whooping or even singing, you will make a huge difference to how our runners feel and help them to complete the challenge of a lifetime.
Use the name on their running vest to shout encouragement, and generally give a loud and motivational cheer as they run past!
