Volunteer At The Melbourne Marathon 25

< Previous Next >     

Rotary Melbourne has proudly supported The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program for nearly 20 years — and now it’s your chance to be part of something special! Join us for a fun, social, and feel-good morning at the 2025 Melbourne Marathon on Sunday 12 October 25, as we staff a drink station in vibrant Elwood (corner of Point Ormond Rd and Marine Parade).    

Why join in?
Because it’s energising, rewarding, and a little bit epic! You’ll be handing out water and encouragement to marathon runners at the halfway point — a critical moment in their 42km journey. The buzz is contagious!


Start Time: 6:00–6:30 AM Finish Time: 11:00 AM
Location: Elwood (Point Ormond Rd & Marine Parade)
Minimum age: 13 — bring friends and family! No Rotary membership needed — just your great spirit!

This is a great way to connect, give back, and soak up the excitement of one of Melbourne’s iconic events — all while supporting a cause that’s changing lives through education.
If you’re keen to help, please let me know and save the date — Sunday 12 October. I’ll share more details closer to the day, including parking and transport info.
Got questions? Reach out anytime!
