A VOLUNTEER steward group wants more people to join it ahead of Sunday’s Cardiff Bay 10K.
With more than 6,000 runners signed up, the Extra Milers – as the volunteers are known – are still appealing for help.
“Volunteering is a great way to gain confidence, work experience, network and most importantly it’s a really fun day out! Not only do you get all of the benefits of volunteering as an Extra Miler but you get to be an integral part of a mass participation sporting event and know that you made the difference,” said Run4Wales volunteer programme assistant Marina Schaefer.
Race Director Steve Brace said: “This event has become one of Wales’ most popular 10K races in front of a stunning backdrop.
“Volunteers are always crucial in making sure competitors have the best race-day experience possible. Anyone willing to volunteer will be welcomed with open arms.”
