• You’ll be a friendly face when people arrive and leave.
Route Marshall Volunteer:
• You’ll be directing and cheering-on our walkers along the route.
• You’ll have a high-vis and be on the course at a specific point and will be there until the tail walkers go past.
• You may also be asked to be a part of our children’s scavenger hunt.
• You’ll be partnered up with someone so you can both give a big cheer when the walkers go past.
