Volunteering details
Beatson Cancer Charity are absolutely delighted to be chosen as one of the charities; along with Doing it for Daniel Foundation and Ayrshire Hospice; for Run the Runway 2025 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport. This is a really exciting and unique event where participants get the opportunity to run the runway at the airport! This event is not just about running, it’s about making a difference. Participants have the option to run or walk 5K, or run 10K.
On Saturday 9th November, we are looking for volunteers, to make sure the event runs smoothly. Volunteers will be given a full briefing, a T-shirt, lanyard and Hi Vis vests to wear as well as cuppa and a breakfast roll after the run.
As it is a really unique venue, runners will need guided from the car parks to the main terminal building to check in for the event. Check in opens from 6.30am ahead of the event starting at 8.00am.
It’s an early start! Volunteers will be needed on site from 6.30am till 11.30am as the event has to be completed and a full runway check done before the arrival of the first inbound flight at mid-day. You will be on your feet and busy throughout the morning. Free parking is available for all volunteers and we will pay all reasonable travel expenses for you too.
Unfortunately, spectators cannot be accommodated airside, so volunteering would be a wonderful way to support this event and to cheer on the runners and walkers. Every extra volunteer means we can safely welcome more runners. And more runners means more funds raised for our charities.
If you would like to help Beatson Cancer Charity and be part of this incredible event, please do get in touch! Email us at volunteer@beatsoncancercharity.org for more info or to sign up.
