Cheer Squad Volunteer Royal Parks Half Marathon

What You'll Do: 

Join us at the Royal Parks Half Marathon by signing up to our Cheer Squad. A team of over 100 Alzheimer's Research UK supporters are taking part this year raising vital funds for dementia research. The route takes runners through four of London’s stunning royal parks; Hyde Park, Green Park, St James’ Park & Kensington Gardens.

 

Your support will keep them striding onto the finish line!

 

"Thank you for the cheer points along the way they really were the best and were so desperately needed to keep me going." (Previous ARUK runner)

Where: We'll have a designated area in Hyde Park, London
