Volunteer at the
Great North Run
Sunday 13th September 2026
Be part of the incredible atmosphere at the Great North Run by volunteering with The UK Sepsis Trust to help cheer on our Team UKST runners!
We’re looking for friendly, enthusiastic volunteers to help create an amazing atmosphere, encourage our runners when they need it most, and help raise vital awareness of sepsis. You’ll also have the chance to chat with runners, their families and supporters, proudly representing the UK Sepsis Trust.
Our cheer station is always full of energy, with thousands of runners and supporters creating an incredible atmosphere throughout the day. Your encouragement can make all the difference to our runners as they take on one of the UK’s most iconic running events.
Volunteer your way
Our cheer station will be active from 10:00am to 4:00pm, and you’re welcome to volunteer for as much or as little of that time as you’d like. Whether you can spare an hour or stay for the whole day, your support will make a real difference. Just let us know when you expect to arrive and how long you’d like to stay.
We’ll provide everything you need, including a UK Sepsis Trust t-shirt and all the information to help you feel ready and confident before the event.
Come along, have fun, meet other volunteers, cheer on Team UKST, and help us spread vital awareness of sepsis.
