2024 RBC Race for the Kids Event Maker

On Saturday 12 October 2024, we'll have a team of TeamGOSH participants taking part in the RBC Race for the Kids, all raising money for seriously ill children at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Participants can walk, jog, wheel or scoot 2k or 5k in London's Hyde Park. This family festival is the perfect day out for all ages and abilities. There'll be live stage entertainment, an eclectic mix of fabulous family activities, and even a few famous faces.

There are lots of fun varied roles to get involved with. Roles will be allocated closer to the event day - every role is valuable and important for making the event a success. Possibilities include:

• Medal distributor
• Cheerer
• Stewarding around the park
• And many more!

A full volunteer shift is 7am till 2pm on the 12 October 2024 at Hyde Park in London. Ideally, you'll be able to do the full shift, but a half shift is also available from 9am till 1pm.
