Volunteer at the Taunton Half Marathon

Why we need you

The Taunton Half Marathon is one of the most inspiring events of the year, bringing together runners, families, and supporters to celebrate wellness, connection, and compassion. By joining us as a volunteer, you’ll play a meaningful role in supporting our hospice, helping ensure this special day is memorable for everyone involved.

We could not run our events without the support of  volunteers. Volunteers play an important part in helping to create a safe, organized and celebratory  experience for every participant. With your invaluable support, we can ensure runners stay hydrated, feel encouraged, and finish the race with a sense of accomplishment, all while helping raise awareness and support for the compassionate care our hospice provides.
