Volunteers are the lifeblood of athletics / running clubs and events across Wales, without them the sport wouldn’t be possible.
Volunteers’ Week is a special time to celebrate and express gratitude to volunteers across Wales. For their incredible dedication of countless individuals in every aspect of the sport. Within our athletics / running community, volunteers play a vital role - in many different roles that keep things running smoothly week in week out. Their commitment makes a huge difference, and this week is the perfect opportunity to recognise their efforts.
This week show your appreciation in a number of ways:
- Give a personal thank you card to your coach / a club volunteer
- Junior athletes / runners can get involved too by colouring in a thank you poster
- Shoutout your volunteers on social media tag Welsh Athletics for us to share
- Recognise an individual for their volunteer contributions in the Welsh Athletics & RunWales Hall of Fame! Submit your nomination here
