Volunteers for the London Landmarks Half Marathon 23rd May 2021
Posted by Alan Mawdsley on 28 January 2021
I am currently on the lookout for enthusiastic individuals/groups to help out at the London Landmarks Half Marathon, on Sunday 23rd May 2021. I wondered if Stragglers might be able to support our event or post about the opportunity in any newsletters/forums?
The event is organised by baby charity, Tommy's (www.tommys.org) to benefit themselves and many other good causes. Over £17m has been raised to date through the first three years of the event. While participants run past some of London’s most iconic landmarks, this year’s theme will shine a light on how we are coming together as a nation during the Covid-19 pandemic. We want to celebrate, commemorate and reflect upon the landmark moments of 2020 and 2021.
We have some challenging months ahead of us, so we are working hard to put together something special that we can all look forward to. With this in mind we are looking for support at this year’s event in a variety of roles; from overseeing a drinks station to dressing up to create that unique London Landmarks atmosphere! Please see our volunteer page for a full breakdown of all of our roles: https://llhm.co.uk/volunteer
In light of the ongoing situation with Covid-19, we are working with the local authorities to put together a Covid-secure event. We are monitoring advice regarding the pandemic, and are updating plans on our Covid safety page. We are putting a number of contingencies in place to ensure that the event is delivered to the required safe standards for the participants, volunteers, spectators, local residents and all involved on the day.
The plans we are developing follow the latest DCMS and Run Britain guidance to ensure appropriate social distancing measures are in place on race day. As the situation is ever-changing, all volunteers will be kept fully informed of the plans in place to keep them safe!

Potential volunteers are able to register through the following link: https://entry.enteronline.org/Login.aspx?StreamID=4094. They are also more than welcome to send me an email if they’re interested in hearing more!
Volunteers are absolutely instrumental to our event, we simply couldn’t do it without them! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Many thanks & best wishes,
Steph
