You don’t have to be a runner to enjoy the Swansea Half Marathon. For the past three years we have had hundreds of volunteers making up our RACE MAKER team and helping make the Swansea Half Marathon such a success.

All you need is lots of enthusiasm, a smile and a positive attitude. Work as part of our team to help ensure an amazing experience to thousands of our runners.

As well as individuals we also want to hear from local community groups and clubs who can co-ordinate their own team of Race Makers in return for a financial donation to your organisation.

What roles are available?

On Course Race Makers
Start/Finish Race Makers
Runners Village Race Makers
City Centre Race Makers
Hydration & Nutrition Station Race Makers
Pacers

As a thank you for becoming a Race Maker, Swansea University Swansea Half Marathon will provide you with an event t-shirt to be worn on the day and refreshments for the duration of the event.

You will need to be able to commit to between 8am and 2pm on race day depending on your role.

Pacers will receive FREE entry into the event and their own pacer flags and t-shirt to be worn throughout the event. 

Pacers are usually experienced runners who will run a pace at a race, slower than their own race PB’s to help other runners achieve their goals.

Pacing experience isn’t always necessary, but you need to be confident you can maintain a consistent pace to achieve the goal pacer time. You’ll be expected to arrive at the race in plenty of time to be able to prepare yourself and be in the start pens when they open so runners can locate you prior to the race start.

You must be enthusiastic and happy to motivate the runners around you as they’ll need your encouragement throughout the whole of the race!

Whether you are an individual or a group, please register your details via the below button and we will get in touch with you closer to race day.
