** Challenge Running Needs You **
National Volunteer Day is 5th December 2026, but we need you now!
People volunteer to make a difference in their communities, support causes they care about and gain personal fulfilment. Key motivations include meeting new people, learning skills, enhancing career prospects, boosting mental health (reducing stress/increasing confidence) and finding a sense of purpose.
Others just do it for the points against future events :D
Be that person in 2026 - volunteer!
We are always on the hunt for support for all of our events but in particular we have an urgent need for extra support for the Thames Ring Series which starts on 22nd April, the Suffolk Back Yard Ultra Festival starting on 6th June and on 11th July, the Thetford 24 Hour event.
You can find out about our volunteering opportunities, how our points system works and offer your support by visiting our website, www.challenge-running.com/contents/3109-volunteers.
We'd love to get more clubs involved in volunteering at our events; we will give whoever volunteers at the event the usual points but also for each checkpoint location staffed by a club we will donate a few places for that years event for the club to use or to raffle off, or give to runners they choose.
