Opportunity description:

We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to support our event at Central Forest Park on Saturday 27th July. Whether you’re going solo, bringing a friend or part of a larger group, your support means our events can run smoothly and raise money to fund lifesaving research. We’re looking for people who are:  

• Engaging, friendly and keen to make sure everyone has a brilliant day. 

• Willing to get stuck in and help. 

• Good communicators. 

• Flexible and can use their own initiative. 

• Team players – you’ll be joining a lovely bunch of other volunteers! 

Before the event, you can give us your preference for what you’d like to do on the day. We will endeavour to accommodate this, but it will depend on volunteer attendance. Below are the different roles we have on offer (please specify this in the free text section of the application form labelled ‘Experience’). No matter what you do you’ll know you are making a huge difference to those taking part in our amazing events.  

• Event Site Volunteer - Setting up and packing down the event (this may include helping to set up the course and marshal stations, putting up marquees and flags getting water to the finish line and clearing up after the event has finished). 

• Course Marshal & Obstacle Marshal - You could be located at one of our Course Marshal points, cheering and encouraging our participants and helping them to navigate their way around the course. At our Pretty Muddy events, as an Obstacle Marshal you get the opportunity to guide participants as they climb, crawl and slide their way around the Obstacles and help them get as muddy as possible! 

• Enquiries & Admin Volunteer - You'll help answer queries from participants and spectators during the event. This could include anything from simple directions to processing on-the-day entries, replacing numbers, and of course being a friendly and welcoming face to our participants. 

• Cycle Volunteer - You will guide, support and motivate participants by cycling parts of the route. This role requires your own bike suitable to the terrain of the course.
