‘On the day’ Events Ambassador (Cardiff Half Marathon 2026)
On Sunday 4th October we're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help motivate runners and create an unforgettable race-day experience. There's no set time commitment - every bit of support makes a difference, whether it's for a short while or longer.
The Cardiff Half Marathon sees over 27,000 runners take on this iconic half Marathon every year.
What you'll be doing: Barnardo's volunteers play a vital role on race day. Come rain or shine, you'll help create an incredible atmosphere for our runners and supporters.
At our charity stand, you'll welcome participants and their friends and family, answer basic questions, thank runners for their support, and celebrate their achievements as they cross the finish line.
At our cheer station, we'll provide clappers, cheer sticks and instruments to help make as much noise as possible and keep runners motivated along the route.
This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to our work, gain hands-on event experience and be part of a supportive team. You don’t need any prior experience, just a sense of fun, team spirit, and enthusiasm.
What you’ll get:
- The knowledge that you’re supporting Barnardo's runners on race day
- A welcome call from the Barnardo's Event Manager
- A detailed briefing at the start of the event
- Snacks and drinks
- A Barnardo’s Volunteer T-shirt
Please do wear weather appropriate clothing and bring a re-useable water bottle with you.
