Each year, thousands of runners take on Bidwells 10k runs in Oxford and Cambridge. The series is a huge fundraising event for Muscular Dystrophy UK, raising over £2 million so far to fight against muscle wasting conditions. We couldn't run these events without brilliant volunteers like you!
Our volunteers help us with all aspects of the event from handing out water to runners to manning the baggage tent to handing out medals and goody bags to providing information to runners and their supporters.
You can volunteer as a group so feel free to sign up with your friends!
The run takes place on Sunday 5 October 2025 at Midsummer Common, Victoria Avenue, Cambridge CB5 8DJ.
Volunteers would need to be available all morning from around 7am, though exact timings will depend on the role.
All volunteers will be offered a free place at one of our 2026 events!
