Hike For A Cure is a series of hikes set in some of the most beautiful locations in the UK. At this event walkers will tackle an 18 mile hike along the magnificent landscape in the Jurassic Coast.
Alzheimer’s Research UK are looking for volunteers to help facilitate this fantastic occasion at the start/finish line, as marshals and other supporting roles along the route to create an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
- What you will be doing: Marshalling, Start/Finish point support, Sweep marshalling, Refreshments or Photography.
- Where: Corfe Castle, Dorset, South West England, BH20 5DW. Parking is available for volunteers.

As part of this great experience, we’ll provide you with lunch, and a hot meal at the finish. We also plan to have an Hike For A Cure t-shirt for you, so you’ll really look the part!
