Manchester Marathon – Club Volunteers Needed

Jason Brogan

The Greater Manchester Marathon is on 19th April 2015

Can you let Dave and Debbie know if you are able to volunteer for us again this year, you all did such a great job last year and earned the club a donation for your efforts. This was greatly appreciated and came to nearly £500.
We are asking our course marshals to register online by November 30th.
If you can help, please register on this site
with the code for Manchester Harriers – mancharriers2015
AND
email Dave (davidwood49@aol.com) and Debbie (tinpet40@yahoo.co.uk) to let them know you have registered.
Any problems let Debbie or Dave know and they will sort it for you..
As usual we will be able to sort out lifts nearer the time and see you there. If you are not 100% please do sign on as we need 27 volunteers as last year. If you have not volunteered before it is good fun, a lunch bag is provided and you get a jacket to keep. We are about 5 miles from the finish near Stretford Arndale so essential for cheering runners along, our athletes included.
