Volunteer
Not running this year? no problem!
You can still be right at the heart of the action by joining our awesome volunteer crew. Without our volunteers, the Colchester Half just wouldn’t be the same. You’re the ones who make the magic happen!
This year, thousands of runners will be hitting the streets of Colchester to raise money for The Robin Cancer Trust, and your support will help them every step of the way. Sound good? We’d love to have you on the team!
wE NEED YOUR
SKILLS!
Volunteering isn’t just about giving your time; it’s about soaking up the atmosphere, cheering on thousands of runners, and being part of an unforgettable community event. You’ll meet new people, make great memories, and keep the energy buzzing all day long (from around 7:30am to about 1pm, depending on your role on the day!).
It’s true, it’s a big day, early start, lots of steps, and all sorts of weather (pack that raincoat and sunscreen!) but trust us, it’s 100% worth it.
fiND YOUR PERFECT FIT
There are plenty of ways to get involved, whether you’re flying solo or bringing a team of friends, family, or colleagues along:
🏃♂️ Race Day set-up – help get everything ready before the runners arrive
🎉 Zone Leaders & Zone Marshals – keep spirits high and runners on track
💧 Water Station Heroes – keep everyone hydrated
🎒 Baggage Crew – safe hands for runners’ belongings
🪧 Signage Team – help us get the course ready in the week leading up to race day
