As in the past, organisers are looking for cyclists to assist the medical teams as “On the Course Marshals”. The job entails circling a specific part of the marathon route keeping an eye out for any runners in distress. This information will be reported to each section group leader who will communicate with the medical team to get assistance.

All volunteers must be 18 years of age and willing and able to remain in the saddle for the duration of the race. The race will start at 6am and runners are expected to be on the course until 1pm.

Anyone interested in helping can reserve the day. For details, contact robphillips@batelnet.bs.
