Coastal half-marathon seeks volunteers for ‘Race Maker’ roles

The coastline at Cleethorpes is welcoming back the ABP Coastal Half Marathon and 10k on September 17th. Runners from across the country have registered for event, including those with high hopes of qualifying for England Athletics Age Group Masters Half Marathon competition.

Supporting everyone taking part in the race will be event organisers Tape2Tape’s crew of volunteer Race Makers. Race Makers have several roles which ensure the event runs smoothly whilst also creating that special magic on the day to encourage everyone over the finishing line.

There is a role for everyone, and tasks include handing out water, t-shirts, medals and cake, or marshalling the running route. Children can also come along with an adult on the day to marshal.

If you are a keen photographer Tape2Tape would love you to join the event as a volunteer photographer. All the pictures taken on the day are made freely available to runners.

Tape2Tape MD Nicola Pattison said: “If you would like to volunteer at the ABP Humber Coastal Half Marathon and 10k then email or volunteers@tape2tape.co.uk.

If you fancy taking part in this picture perfect running challenge, there is still time to register for either the Half Marathon or 10k. All runners will receive a bespoke race medal that this year features a striking oystercatcher on a pebble shape to pay homage to the natural landscape that makes this coastal route stand out from the rest.”
