PLEASE HELP! – CHESTER HALF MARATHON VOLUNTEERS URGENTLY NEEDED
On SUNDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER West Cheshire AC is contracted to provide 40 marshals for the Chester Half Marathon, in return for which, the club receives a generous financial contribution to club funds. Without this single source of income, your club membership subs would be significantly higher each year.
To those who have benefited from being a club member in terms of free races, reduced entry fees and structured training sessions, here is your best opportunity all year to commit to giving something back, for a mere four hours of your time – equivalent to, say, two long runs!
You need to be available between 8am and 12 noon on race day. No past experience is required.
You will have great fun cheering on the 5,000 runners and your club mates who have entered. And youβll get a technical t-shirt and goody bag full of chocolate and Haribo as thanks.
Just to clarify β you donβt need to be an active club member yourself to be a marshal β any friend, family member or ex-club member over the age of 18 would be very welcome! Although anyone under 18 doesnβt count in our head count of marshals, kids are welcome to come down with you and will enjoy the event too.
Please let Ellie Robinson know if you can join the WCAC marshal team by emailing her at: [email protected]
