Volunteer at our events

We attend events throughout the year, and love it when volunteers come to join us. Sometimes this involves cheering at races, or other times we might need help with public donations and collections.

Volunteering at fundraising events

We regularly attend races where we have SRUK fundraisers taking part. 

This involves looking out for SRUK runners, cheering for them, and generally making our charity cheer-point a fun and vibrant place to be. At these events our runners have sometimes raised £1000s for SRUK, so we make sure to show them our gratitude and appreciation. If you volunteer with us, we’ll provide you with an SRUK t-shirt and all the materials you’ll need to cheer our runners on!

If you’d like to come and cheer at any event that we have runners in, just let us know. In 2025 and 2026, we plan to attend:

  • Royal Parks Half Marathon – 12 October 2025
  • London Landmarks Half Marathon – 12 April 2026
  • London Marathon – 26 April 2026

We also have runners taking part in events across the country. Where we’re not always able to attend these ourselves, we love it when the community get involved. We can send you all of the materials that you need to cheer on our runners, wherever you are! Some regional events coming up are:

  • Great North Run – 7 Sept 2025
  • Cardiff Half Marathon – 5 Oct 2025
