Roles we are looking for are:

– Volunteer Marshals: in this role you will be supporting our participants around the lovely 5k route within The Rutland Showground, by being the events teams eyes & ears on the course, providing directions, offering support and encouragement and using our “super soakers” and buckets to help manage our obstacles and get the participants extremely muddy! Full on the day briefings will be provided.

– Start/Finish Volunteers: As a start/finish volunteer, you would be helping us to get our start and finish lines ready, then helping to set our participants on their way around the course, then ensuring they all get their medal, water and snack at the end of their event, whilst helping to encourage them over the finish line but also keeping the area tidy. Full on the day briefings will be provided.

– Admin Managers: As an Admin Manager, you will be fully briefed both before the event and on the day, as you will be the central hub for participant questions, replacement running numbers and on the day sign ups!
