A group of people stand behind partitions at the side of the London Marathon. They are clapping and cheering for the runners taking part in the event. They have clapper boards and a woman with pink hair is holding up a sign that says 'Go Connie!'. It is a sunny day and some of them are wearing Blood Cancer UK t-shirts.

FAQs: Volunteering to cheer

The minimum age for this role is 18

Cheering at the Marathon is an unpaid voluntary role, however, you can claim for pre-arranged volunteer expenses.

We’d love for you to bring your friends and family along on the day to cheer on our event participants! We just ask that each person registers as a volunteer so we can keep track of numbers, ensure we have enough t-shirts for everyone, and so they’re able to claim back any expenses.
