Volunteering
Every year brilliant volunteers play a crucial role in the delivery of our events.
You receive lunch, kit, and amazing work experience ranging from marshalling the route, handing out water and celebrating with finishers by handing out medals.
We also have volunteer Tailwalkers who keep the atmosphere high among our back-of-the-pack participants. There are also dedicated recycling volunteers who work at recycling stations, ensuring that waste is separated and ready to be recycled.
Here's how you can get involved
Did you know
When you volunteer with London Marathon Events (LME), you’re supporting more people to get active and lead healthier lives?
Every year, LME gifts the surplus money from its events to the London Marathon Foundation, which provides funding to inspire physical activity in communities across the UK. Since the first London Marathon in 1981, the Foundation has awarded more than £105 million to projects that help people to live active lives.
We want you to know that your volunteering has such a positive impact, and we couldn’t do what we do without you!

We receive support from running clubs, schools, and universities to community organisations and the parkrun community.
