Be a volunteer

You don't have to be a runner to enjoy Ealing's biggest event of the year. Last year, hundreds of volunteers got involved and had a great time making Ealing's Half Marathon such a wonderful success for the runners and spectators alike resulting in us winning the accolade of the Number One Best Half Marathon three years in a row at The Running Awards.

The dates are:

Ealing Mini Mile Saturday 26th September 2026

Ealing Half Marathon Sunday 27th September 2026

This year we'll be putting together a volunteer team of almost 700 people, looking after the race village in Walpole Park and out on the roads of Ealing guiding the runners and helping local residents. It's a fun & rewarding experience for all and we'd love you to get involved! You will need to be able to give between 4 to 6 hours on the day depending on where you are volunteering. The required start time for most volunteer areas will be 07:30am to allow for all the logistics on the day.

Reasons to volunteer:

Not only is it a great community event to take part in but each registered volunteer who completes their role gets a breakfast roll, drink AND a free race place* for the following years half marathon (age restrictions apply and your place must be claimed by the 31st December otherwise you will miss out) so it's a great incentive.

There are a large number of roles available on race weekend:

Saturday Roles:

• Family and Mini Mile Volunteers

Sunday Roles:

• Set Up
• Team Leaders/Deputies
• Route marshals
• Water station teams
• Baggage
• Race village Marshals

Volunteering is a great opportunity to feel part of the event and meet new like-minded people. If you could spare a few hours on Mini Mile day (Saturday 26th September) or 4-6 hours Half Marathon day (Sunday 27th September), then head to our website to choose a spot from our volunteer roles and we'll have you registered and contact you nearer the event weekend – don't forget to put us in your diary now!
