Volunteer at Nike Melbourne Marathon 2025
Sunday, 12 October 2025
Beyond Blue is excited to be a Platinum Charity for the upcoming Nike Melbourne Marathon Festival.
Located at the iconic MCG, we'll be managing the Marathon Drink Station and the Marathon Finisher Shirt Distribution and cheering runners on as they cross the finish line!
Our Beyond Blue fundraisers have already raised over $280,000 for the Beyond Blue Support Service, with plenty more to come! By volunteering, you are supporting the event to go ahead and raise vital funds for mental health.
There are 2 roles available at the event. Roles will be allocated on the day, however if you have a strong preference for one of the roles, please reach out to the team ahead of your shift.
Marathon Drink Station – We will be handing out drinks to runners who have just completed the marathon event.
Marathon Finisher Shirt distribution – We will be handing out t-shirts to marathon runners who have completed the event. Setting up will involve emptying shirts from boxes and setting them out on the tables, and replenishing throughout the day as required.
Volunteering is a great way to support Beyond Blue, connect with others and feel a sense of pride and purpose.
