Please arrive at your marshal point at least 30 minutes before the race is due to reach you. Wear your high-vis vest and stand somewhere safe with a clear view of runners and traffic.
Stay in position until you're told the final runner has passed. If a runner needs medical help, call the event team and give your marshal point number.

Give your marshal team a clear view of the course, their assigned location and the information they need on race day.
Create your race route directly on the map or upload an existing GPX file.
Add marshal positions, junctions, crossings, facilities and other important locations so everything your team needs is clearly marked.
Add your marshal team and assign each person to their position on the course.
You can upload existing marshal information from a spreadsheet, helping you avoid unnecessary manual data entry.
Once your event is ready, share it with your marshal team using a simple link or QR code.
Marshals can open the event on their phone and find the information they need without downloading an app or creating an account.
When marshals arrive at their assigned location, they can check in through the event.
As an organiser, you can see who is checked in and get a clearer picture of your team's position before and during the race.
Keep your route, marshal points and important facilities together on one map, ready to use for your next event.
Give volunteers the information they need to find their position and understand their role on race day.
Live check-ins give you a clear view of which marshal positions are covered. If something changes, update the information and keep your team informed.
Until this year, the race director managed 54 marshals with spreadsheets, printouts and a chat group. In 2026 they moved the whole team onto Marshal Maps.
“It completely transformed our race morning. No more frantic radio calls trying to figure out if point 7 was covered.”
The marshals just opened the link, found their number, and walked straight to their spot. Far less chaotic.
Everything you need to plan, share and run race day.

Marshal Maps brings your race route, marshal locations, race information and marshal check-ins together in one place. Instead of managing separate spreadsheets, maps PDFs, emails and messages, you can give your marshal team the information they need through one straightforward digital map. This helps you spend less time answering questions and managing information, and more time running your event.
Yes. You can either draw your race route directly onto the map or import an existing GPX file. If you already have your marshal information in a spreadsheet, you can upload that along with the what3words locations for your marshal positions, so you don’t have to enter everything manually.
You can add and label marshal locations directly along your route, including junctions, road crossings, turns, entrances and other areas that need attention. You can also assign multiple marshals to the same location where more than one person is required.
Yes. Marshal Maps supports what3words positioning, allowing you to give marshals a precise location when a road name, postcode or general description isn’t specific enough. This can be particularly useful when you need a marshal to stand at an exact position.
No. Marshals don’t need to download an app. They can open the event map on their phone, find their assigned location and view the information you’ve provided. This keeps things simple for volunteers and avoids asking them to learn another piece of software.
When a marshal arrives at their assigned location, they can check in through the event. When they’ve finished, they can check out. As an organiser, you can see who has checked in and get a clearer picture of who has arrived and who has finished.
Yes. Marshal Maps allows you to send a broadcast message directly to your marshals’ phones. This can be useful when something changes on race day, such as a road closure, start time, weather conditions or another important instruction that everyone needs to know.
Once your event is ready, you can share the map with your marshal team using a link or a QR code. You can also print an A4 QR poster for your race HQ or briefing area. If you need a physical version of the marshal information, you can export it as a PDF.
One race on one date, with its own marshal team. If you run several distances from the same HQ on the same day, say a 5k and a 10k, that's still one race: add each course as a route on the same map.
No. You pay once per race. Your map, marshal list and settings stay in your account, ready to reuse for next year's race.
