Guernsey Marathon appeals for volunteer marshals

Organisers of the Guernsey Marathon 2025 have called on volunteers to come forward to help run this year's event.

The 26 mile (42km) race has been scheduled for 6 April at South Esplanade.

A statement published on the event's homepage says: "It takes hundreds of people to ensure the event runs smoothly, so becoming a Guernsey Marathon volunteer means you play an active role in the overall success of the event."

Two roles are available: course marshals and relay station managers.

The main responsibility of course marshals is to ensure runners remain safely on the course and stay motivated.

About 70 marshals are required and no experience is needed but they should be over the age of 18.

Relay station managers are tasked with managing the marshals on a specific area of the course.

The event's website says training will be provided for both roles.
