BRITISH record-holder Dina Asher-Smith and Paralympic champion Richard Whitehead helped to launch the volunteer programme for next year’s World ParaAthletics Championships and IAAF World Championships as the London 2017 organising committee began its search for “Runners”.
Up to 4000 volunteers will help with the delivery of the event, taking on a range of roles including transport, way-finding, meet and greet, and accreditation
It is anticipated that up to half of the “Runners” will be from the grassroots of athletics across the UK.
