VOLUNTEER
We’re staging a contact-free, covid-secure event experience between 1st and 3rd May 2021, with reduced numbers of entries for each event as well as fewer volunteers.
We need your help with marshaling the route, assisting with the start and finish, as well as rewards. All volunteers receive a commemorative badge and branded drawstring bag containing cool MK Marathon branded items and the gratitude of thousands of participants!
Sign up for your favorite MK Marathon volunteer position now! You will be contacted by our volunteer team closer to race day with final instructions. Thank you for your help and support!
My favourite race that I volunteer to marshal at all year, it’s so well organised and a great atmosphere. I look forward to seeing all the returning runners and the new ones, especially if it’s your first marathon.

Recognising our dedicated volunteer groups
REDWAY RUNNERS
The Redway Runners, with over 2,500 members, is the biggest running club in Milton Keynes. Established in 2010, the club caters to every level of runner. Organised runs take place every day of the week. Redway Runners have been a major supporter of the MK Marathon from day one. Apart from the many runners that actually take part, great pride is felt by providing the MK Marathon team with hundreds of volunteers from among its members to make sure the day goes well.
When asked why the group continues to volunteer at the MK Marathon, club Chairman Martin Lawrence emphasised that “the event is a great opportunity to connect with other individuals from the Milton Keynes running community.” His advice for other volunteer groups is to “make the most of the opportunity, as giving back in these events can feel as rewarding, if not more so, if you are committed and enthusiastic during volunteer efforts.”
Thank you, Redway Runners! We are proud to have you as part of the MK Marathon family!
