The Aycliffe to Shildon Jaunt organisers are appealing for volunteers to act as marshals along the route to ensure the safety of participants.
People with First Aid Certificates will also be needed to cover this safety angle.
It is essential everyone sticks to the designated route and should be aware that there is an extra distance to walk to get to the Museum where the celebrations take place along with free refreshments and entertainment.
There will be a busy road to cross and participants are warned to exercise care and attention.
