2. Field a team. Get your company running, a great way to boost morale and team build. Encouraging fitness in the workplace can be extremely beneficial for employers. The endorphins released during exercise mean that employees have more self-confidence and energy, they have more positive attitudes when at work, and they are less stressed too. It’s a fact that staying fit and active has a hugely positive impact on how you feel and perform at work.

3. Be Volunteers. You don’t have to be a runner to enjoy Ealing’s biggest event of the year. Last year hundreds of volunteers got involved and had a great time making Ealing’s Half Marathon such a wonderful success for the runners and spectators alike, resulting in us winning the accolade of the Number One Best Half Marathon three years in a row at The Running Awards.

Volunteers with the #EalingFeeling

This year we’ll be putting together an even bigger volunteer team of 700 (YES 700!!), looking after the race village in Lammas Park, out on the roads of Ealing guiding the runners and helping residents. Your company can be part of this amazing team effort. You can send 1 or 100+ volunteers, we have space for them all. There are popular team spots such as water stations, finish funnel, baggage etc, these get snapped up quickly so let us know if you want to all work together and we’ll do our best to group you all in the same area.

It’s a fun & rewarding experience for all and we’d love you to get involved. You will need to be able to give between 4 to 6 hours on the day depending on where you are volunteering. The required start time for most volunteer areas will be 07:30am to allow for all the logistics on the day.
