If you have the fitness, you could be back running one of the routes (this means you would stay behind the last runner, looking out for any issues that could arise and keep HQ informed of your location). You might be helping at HQ, directing people to the parking area, registering runners before they start on their course (arrival time is usually around 6am) and/or giving out medals and refreshments at the end.

You get to support fellow runners and be outdoors, enjoying the vibes of an event. Additionally, you can enter one of our events (of your choice) for free. You also receive food on the day and free camping if required for the weekend.
