Volunteers’ Week is a special time to celebrate and express our gratitude to volunteers across Wales.
Now in its 40th year, this annual event highlights the incredible dedication, support, and hard work of countless individuals in every aspect of life. Within our running community, volunteers play a vital role—whether as Run Leaders, session planners, social media coordinators, event organisers, or in many other essential roles that keep things running smoothly. Their commitment makes a huge difference, and this week is the perfect opportunity to recognise their efforts.
Get involved in running and athletics across Wales through exciting volunteer opportunities:
📍 Welsh Athletics – support events and inspire athletes
🌳 Your local parkrun – help build a thriving running community
🏃 Social running groups – encourage and connect with fellow runners
