Sunday 20th May 2012 Manchester City Centre

Now in its tenth year the BUPA Great Manchester 10k Run is the nation's favourite 10k running event and we want you to join The Stroke Association on the day!

The Manchester Run is recognised as one of the world's greatest road running competitions, with the elite race performances ranking highly in the world best performance lists every year. Away from the elites, the race sees an all-star cast of celebrities and thousands of charity and fun runners taking part to raise money for charity.

At this event we're looking for volunteers who are willing to cheer our runners on at our cheering point along the route. You will be provided with cheering aids and refreshments on the day with a travel expense allowance of £5. Our runners really appreciate the support on the route so you'd really be brightening up someone's day! We're also looking for people to join us at the charity village to man The Stroke Association stand. Our runners come to visit us after taking on the Manchester 10k and they'll be provided with treats and a free massage! Volunteers who help out here will also receive refreshments and a £5 travel expense allowance.

The Stroke Association is the only UK wide charity solely concerned with combating stroke in people of all ages. Without people like you, we wouldn't be able to continue our vital work in supporting those who've been affected by stroke and their families.
