    Event support volunteer - London Landmarks Half Marathon

    Join the team and be part of one of Breast Cancer Now’s biggest fundraising events. Enjoy the party atmosphere and make some noise for our runners at the London Landmarks Half Marathon on Sunday 12 April!

    We're looking for volunteers to come along between 9am to 1pm, but you don’t need stay for the whole time!

    We're thrilled to share that Breast Cancer Now has been selected as a Big Ben Charity Partner for the London Landmarks Half Marathon 2026!

    We need your help to cheer on one of the biggest and most dedicated teams on the course, who are on track to raise £300,000.

    To celebrate, we're cranking up the party vibes with a carnival theme. Expect fancy dress, vibrant Samba rhythms and, best of all, dancers from the London School of Samba!

    What will I be doing?

    • Making lots of noise at one of our cheer points, so ours are the loudest and liveliest!
    • Being there for our runners, with high-fives, hugs, and a happy face
    • Giving words of encouragement to help our runners power-through to the finish line

    What skills or qualities do I need?

    • Bags of enthusiasm!
    • The confidence to cheer, shout and make lots of noise
    • Able to quickly connect with and uplift people

    Location

    On-site

    An iconic central London location (TBA)

    158-160 N Gower St, Greater, London NW1 2ND, UK
