Join the excitement!

International Woman's Day Fun Run presented by Queensland X-Ray takes an enormous effort to organise and events of this scale and size simply would not be possible without the generous help of a large team of volunteers. Get in early and register your interest as an amazing event volunteer.

By volunteering for Fun Run, you will have the opportunity to be part of this iconic community event, learn new skills, meet new people or use it as a chance to bond with your colleagues, friends or family! Best of all, you'll have fun while supporting Fun Run, an event raising funds for women with breast cancer.

There are a wide variety of volunteer roles available at the start and finish sites as well as along the route. Roles include customer service, cheering on participants, keeping the crowds moving in the right direction and ensuring that our participants stay hydrated at all times.
