Volunteering

Be part of the LLHM 2026 Volunteer team

"LLHM is just a joyous day of colour, sounds and laughter. I’d encourage anyone to volunteer. You definitely won’t regret it"

Who we work with:

At LLHM 2026 we will be working with hundreds of wonderful volunteers to bring the event to life. We’re incredibly proud to work with a wide range of volunteer groups based in and around the City of London and City of Westminster.

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of all of our volunteers, including the Chelsea Pensioners and the Pearly Kings and Queens, who join us at the finish line each year. Their presence brings tradition, charm, and a touch of London magic — especially as they hand out finisher medals and help make the day unforgettable for our participants.

We welcome everyone to our volunteering team, whether your part of a group or an individual, we'll have a role for you.
