Eventeers

Choose a role

• Race office

  The Race Office is the hub of  our event, located in the Event Village. This is where runners will pick-up their race packs, safety pins and see our friendly Race Office team if they have any questions.
  
  Eventeer roles here will involve helping to handout race packs to those runners who have not received these in the post and be on hand to answer any questions runners may have. The Race Office is a customer-facing role so this role would be suited to Eventeers who are friendly, approachable and happy to chat with people. Local knowledge of the area is also advantageous!

  Approximate shift times: 07:00–13:00

• Baggage store

  Many runners choose to bring bags to our events so they have extra clothes to put on once they finish running. As our events attract runners of all abilities you will meet first time runners and seasoned runners all of who will have their own race day nerves.

  We therefore need a team of friendly Eventeers to help greet runners both pre and post race to either drop off or collect their bags from.

  Eventeers will sort bags into numerical order and be on hand post event to speedily reunite runners with their bags and congratulate them on a great run.

  The Baggage Stores can differ from event to event and either be in marquees or on trucks. Where we have baggage trucks roles within this area will be allocated on whether an Eventeer is over the age of 18.

• Route

  With thousands of runners to support across the course we split the route into sections, allocating Senior marshals to look after both route and our fantastic team of Eventeers.

  Eventeers on route are vital to the event. ALL of our events take place on closed roads in conjunction with the local Councils however, we need route Eventeers to help ensure these closures are maintained and that runners are kept safe. Whilst keeping an eye on the route you will primarily be there to sing (if you wish), dance and cheer runners as they take on the mile.

  Being out on course is fantastic way to see the events close up, to see thousands of runners and be part of the exciting atmosphere.

  Due to the nature of the role Route Marshals must be aged 18 years old and over.

• Drink station

  To support runners throughout the event we provide drinks stations and depending on the event we can have up to 8 stations on course at any one time.
  Drink Station Eventeers are a welcome sight for many runners as they clock up the miles and will be a welcome respite, especially in the summer months.

  Drink Station Eventeers are asked to help set up and pack down the drink station ensuring we leave the environment as we found it and clear of any debris.

  Eventeers will be ready for the first runner and the last with that all important drink of water whilst also shouting words of motivation and support.

  Drink Stations usually require a team of around 15 Eventers so it’s a great opportunity for groups and teams but individuals are also welcome to join in too!

• Finish processing

  Who wouldn’t want to do this role! Eventeers in the finish processing area arguable have the most important job of the day, awarding finishers with that all important medal and post race goodies!

  Eventeers here will see a lot of tired faces but the smiles will soon appear as runners are congratulated and handed their medals, water and goody bags.

  This is another area which is great for groups and teams to volunteer but we would also welcome individuals to sign up too.

  Roles include…

  Meet & Greet – welcome guests as they arrive to the dedicated area and inform them of the facilities they have access to

  Baggage – take runners bags and organise these in a suitable manor ready for collection after the race

  Compare – If you’re confident with a microphone and speaking to large audiences, we will provide you with a script to continuously feed announcements to the runners and ensure they head to the start line on time.

  Team Photo Support – Ensure all corporate teams are aware where the team photo location is and encourage them all to have their photo taken pre-race.

  Bus Marshals (Marathon Only) – Check people onto their allocated bus with a register and head out on the bus to their relay change over point. You will then be required to spot your runners team mates as they approach the changeover points and pass over the baton.
