What roles are available?

Help Desk Assistant

Help Desk Volunteers ensure runners are ready to tackle their events by issuing replacement race packs and answering any queries from both runners and spectators. You’ll need to be confident using a laptop.

Information/Arrivals Marshal

Welcome the runners and show them the red-hot Virgin spirit right from the start by ensuring they know where to drop their bags and how to get to the start. Being vocal is key here! You’ll also assist runners and spectators with any event related questions they may have.

Course Marshal

Be on the front lines of the course as you marshal a section of the route. We’ll provide your sign-in station closer to the event. Your assigned section could be up to 1.5 miles away from where you check in so be sure your feet are ready for the haul.

Schools' Challenge/Finish Marshal

You’ll assist with signing in the schools and ensuring they get to the start in their group. 

Rewards Marshal 

Be one of the first to congratulate each runner crossing the finish line by awarding them their medals and handing out water, swag bags, and other delightful surprises.

Event Cyclist

As a Sweep Cyclist, you’ll cheer on the runners from the rear of the pack while providing on-the-ground support for Event Control. Lead cyclists lead from the front, cycling alongside our elite runners!

Volunteer Receptionist

Guide your fellow volunteers through the check-in process by signing them in, confirming their role and responsibilities, and providing them with all necessary equipment.

Water Station or Baggage Groups

If you can pull together a group of 15-20 then we’d love to talk to you about manning a water station or helping in our baggage area as a team!
