Organisers of the Brighton Half Marathon – the main fundraiser for the Sussex Beacon – are seeking volunteers to help out on race day on Sunday, February 27.
More than 450 volunteers play a key part in the event every year by supporting in a variety of roles including helping with road marshalling, the start and finish area, drinks stations, baggage and handing out medals.
The Brighton Half Marathon is organised by Brighton-based charity the Sussex Beacon, which provides specialist support and care for people living with HIV. The charity helps hundreds of people living with HIV in Sussex and the race is the charity’s largest annual event. Other charity partners include local charity Chestnut Tree House and national charities Macmillan and Alzheimer’s Society.
Always a rewarding morning, volunteering offers the opportunity to be part of the unique buzz of race day. All volunteers will be provided with a breakfast bag courtesy of event sponsor Donatello. Anyone interested in volunteering should contact the race organisers at half.marathon@sussexbeacon.org.uk or via the race’s website.
