The ABP Newport Marathon Festival will be back and ready to welcome runners to the city on Sunday 13 April.

With a marathon, half marathon, 10K, mile and junior races on offer there is something for all ages and abilities.

However, running isn’t the only way you can get involved in the weekend festivities.

Run 4 Wales are looking for people to join their friendly volunteer team, also known as the Extra Milers, to support on the day.

Various roles are available including helping on the start-finish line, handing out medals and t-shirts, manning the bag drop and handing out water around the course.

Corporates looking for volunteering opportunities for their team can also get involved to make a positive impact on race day.

Tor Hands, Volunteer Manager at Run 4 Wales, said: “The Extra Milers are vital to the success of race day and we’re looking for volunteers to join us in Newport on Sunday 13 April.

“You don’t need any experience to get involved, just be enthusiastic and ready to get involved.

“We welcome individuals, groups and corporates and also offer employer volunteering programmes that successfully meet the needs of corporate social responsibility.

“Volunteering with Run 4 Wales allows you to have fun, learn new skills and also helps to promotes positive mental and physical wellbeing by having a day outdoors helping others.

“We really appreciate everyone who gives up their time to help out and we know that the runners appreciate it too.”
