2026 Centurion Running Volunteering
To apply you must first Log In or Register your Details with SiEntries.
We love our event crew, the runners love them even more and our event crews have always loved it the most! The ultra running community and these type of races, survive only due to the help and support of a great number of volunteers, they truly are the lifeblood of the sport we all love.
With the kind of races we organise ie. marked and fully supported, we need a lot of help to get things running smoothly. A typical compliment will be 70 - 140 event crew per race. If you want to help out we would love to hear from you.
Once you have registered you are automatically added to the roll call list for your chosen events. Registering at this stage does NOT guarantee you a spot on the team so we would advise you do not book any hotels/trains yet. You will get an email approximately 6 weeks prior to race day to begin the logistics of choosing your assigned role/ station. Please note if you do not respond to that initial mail we will have to assume you have decided to sadly not join us.
Typical Volunteer Duties
Aid Station Crewing - Each Centurion course has between 5 and 14 fully stocked aid stations. Aid Station Crews are under the management of an aid station captain, but it is important for us to have a minimum of 4 people at each aid station at any one time. Duties include constructing the temporary shelter/ organising the hall if indoors, helping runners refill bottles, laying out the different food types for runners to help themselves to, recording numbers and uploading them live to the website and most importantly providing enthusiasm and encouragement in bundles for runners that are tired, in pain and in need of some TLC!!!
Course Sweepers - The course is swept during the race, with sweepers following the last runners in and clearing all markings/ trash as they go. This is a great way of experiencing the race route and witnessing the incredible strength of those at the back of the pack.
Start/ Finish Line Team - Registration is a busy and stressful time for many of the runners and we ensure it goes as smoothly as possible with lots of people on hand to help them with parking, trackers, bib number collection and lots of other tasks. At the finish there are of course the awards, the food areas and the general marshalling of a large site.
We promise that you will enjoy your experience in whatever shape or form over race weekend.
What do you get in return for helping at a race?
