Role Description:
There are several, including setting up the course with way markers, marshalling - cheering on the
children and ensuring they follow the route, technical jobs like time-keeping and barcode scanning using a mobile
phone, handing out finish tokens, organising the volunteers on arrival, closing down the course and removing all the signs. The children do a short warm-up before running and this is led by a volunteer too.
Skills/Experience required;
All training is given on the day and only basic mobile phone skills are required for the timekeeping and barcode scanning.
Being comfortable around children and encouraging them by cheering and clapping to complete the course are the main skills required.
The role is matched to the individual, who has the choice to take on whatever role they feel comfortable with. Most roles can be done standing or sitting.
