Helpers needed
Serpentine has always supported the race by providing marshals. So if you don't like mud, are injured or will be recovering from a big race, please volunteer to help. Ideally you can help all day (10.00am (London Borough races for Juniors in the morning) until 3.30pm), however there are shift options: 10.00am to 1.30pm and 12.00pm to 3.30pm. Anyone helping all day will receive a packed lunch and have their travel expenses reimbursed (up to a maximum of £50).
It's a great opportunity to see some first class running as well as cheer on your fellow Serpies.
If you can help, please email Malcolm French directly by Monday 10th November. Malcolm will pass your details on and supply all additional race data info.
Please note you don't need to be DBS (CRB) checked for the type of duties you'll be asked to undertake.
Any questions?
Please email Lisa Pettit, and I'll be happy to help!
