Step 'n Stride 2025 Edmonton

We are always open to welcoming others into our Parkinson Community. Volunteers are so important to the work we do because we simply could not do it without the dedication of our volunteer group that stretches throughout Alberta.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Step 'n Stride 2025! We have a variety of roles and opportunities from our Kick-off events to our main event! We will work with you to find a good fit among our volunteer roles.

Please contact us if you'd like to be involved at volunteer@parkinsonassociation.ca

Event Set-up
Set up banners/signage, set up registration/volunteer areas, food and beverage areas, place route markers on the course and assist the staff with equipment arrangement (tables/chairs etc). Volunteers need to be comfortable with physical labour and lifting heavier objects!

First Aid
Be onsite for our out door Parkinson Step ‘n Stride, to provide standard first aid treatment for injuries not considered serious, which may include cleaning injured areas and applying antiseptic, salves, ointments, or bandages.

Registration/Check In
This is where all teams/individuals must first stop so they can confirm their arrival and drop off their offline pledges. This is also the first stop for spectators wishing to register. Volunteers at this area must be excellent communicators, organized and energized to greet our teams and spectators!

Parking/Access Patrol

Assist with directing vendors to designated event areas and ensure all vehicles using event areas are obeying the rules of the pathways. You will have a list to check off names using event list provided. You will need access patrol in front and behind the vehicles on pathways. Blinkers on and do not exceed 5 to 10km

Kids Zone

Lots of fun! There are lawn games to play. Help engage our children and youth in this space!

Food and Beverage

This is where the gathering happens! Assist our food and beverages sponsor with keeping the park as clean as we found it.

Route Marshals

The Route Marshals will be stationed at the start/finish lines and 1km, 3km and 5km turn-around points to help with directing teams, ensuring the safety of all participants and cheering them on!

Event Takedown

Help clean up our event site and take down banners/signage, tables and chairs, registration/incentive areas, food and beverage area, removing garbage and route markers. We need volunteers who can lift heavier objects and are not afraid to get their hands dirty
