Volunteer at the Tinsel Trot

Help us run this festive family event!

This is going to be a great family themed event, getting everyone into the festive spirit and full of Christmas cheer! Even Father Christmas will be putting in an appearance!!

Taunton town centre will be closed off to traffic so we want to take over the town and create a wonderful atmosphere with runners in fancy dress and Christmas jumpers.

Hopefully hundreds of runners will take part with loads more supporters on the day. The event will last a few hours and is set all within the central town centre area. The event is open to all.

Date: Sunday 7 December

Time: Shifts from 9am to 1pm

Roles: Setting up and taking down the event, photography, helping register participants, marshalling the route, selling merchandise, serving refreshments, handing out medals, directing traffic in the carpark, cheering on participants.

We need volunteers to help us put on this event! We are expecting it to be busy on the day so need extra pairs of hands to do essential things like marshal the route, hand out medals, help with selling merchandise and more.
