Our Volunteers

We are so grateful for our amazing volunteers who make Runspire Nottingham possible! Without them, we couldn't offer such a variety of running and walking options for our members. We have volunteers trained and certified in run leading (LiRF) and walk leading, as well as mental health champions and first aiders. They are always ready to help you with your goals and challenges. Thank you, volunteers, for being awesome!
