VOLUNTEER MARSHALS NEEDED FOR RUN IN THE DARK – 9th NOV
Hi
Every year in November in cities across the world, the ever popular ‘Run in the Dark’ event takes place.
Started by proud Instonian Mark Pollock, the purpose is to raise money to help fund research into a cure for paralysis resulting from spinal injury.
The Belfast event takes place next Wed 9th Nov between 18.30 and 22.00 at Stormont but is currently short of crucial volunteers to help marshal the course.
The organisers need at least 10 more volunteers and I thought who better than the Instonians family to help out.
If you are available, please email
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
and mark the email BELFAST along with your name and mobile number.
For the avoidance of doubt, this does not involve running but standing at points on the course and keeping runners safe!
