Northstowe Running Festival

Celebrating National Volunteer Week

This National Volunteer Week, we want to recognise and celebrate the incredible volunteers who give their time, skills, and energy to support our events and communities.

Behind every successful event are dedicated volunteers who help create welcoming, safe, and memorable experiences for participants, spectators, and fellow team members. Their commitment, enthusiasm, and willingness to lend a hand make a real difference.

Throughout this week, we'll be shining a spotlight on some of the many volunteer roles that help make our events possible. From registration and course marshals to water station crews and event-day support teams, we'll be sharing how each role contributes to the success of our events and the positive impact volunteers have on our community.

To all our volunteers – thank you. Your generosity, passion, and dedication are truly appreciated.

Happy New Year 🎊🥂

We ended 2025 feeling incredibly proud. Both of our events received the Gold Award, we raised thousands of pounds for local causes, and we had a lot of fun celebrating the 5th anniversary of Northstowe Running Festival 🎊🥂

A huge thank you to all the volunteers, partners, and runners who supported us in 2025 and contributed to these successes 🧡

We wish you all the very best for the New Year and hope you’ll come back to run and volunteer with us in 2026!

Happy New Year 🥳
