This is your chance to enjoy the electric atmosphere in the city while helping participants complete their half-marathon challenge.
We have several volunteering roles that are crucial to the success of the Bath Half. Sign up to volunteer with us and you could hand out medals at the Finish Line, help with bag drops in the Event Village, rehydrate participants at Drinks Stations on the course, or direct and offer support to runners as a Course Marshal.
To show our appreciation, we use the volunteer reward scheme Tempo Time. When you volunteer with us, you’ll receive two credits which you can exchange for a range of activities on their website, here.
Volunteers will also receive lunch and snacks, a volunteer T-shirt, and free parking. All our volunteers are looked after by experienced Bath Half supervisors.
We welcome individuals, community, and corporate groups. Younger volunteers are also welcome but need to be accompanied by an adult or group leader. We offer a donation to community and young person groups who volunteer with us. Please email us to check if your group meets our criteria.
Interested? Email our Volunteer Coordinator Team, looked after by Run 4 Wales, now.
