We'll be needing lots of volunteers to fill a variety of roles outlined below to help the event run smoothly. So if you've got 6-12 hours to spare, would like to find out more about helping or want to volunteer your time, please email info@sip-events.co.uk
All Marshals and Helpers will be well looked after with a free packed lunch, some Montane clothing and various other goodies as a thank you.

Safety Marshals (over 18yrs only please)

Safety marshals will be needed at various points throughout the course for the duration of the race. The first set of marshals will need to be in position by 6am Saturday morning but others won't be needed until later on.

Feed & Water Station Helpers (over 16yrs)

These stations will be positioned at intervals around the course. There'll be no laborious handing out of cups of water though as competitors will have to fill their own bottles from the water containers, you'll just be there to set up, lay out food and keep an eye on things.

Check Point Marshals (over 16yrs)

A very important job to keep track of the riders as they move around the course, you'll also be required to mark the "Rider Passport" as they pass through the check point.

Tail End Charlies (over 18yrs)

For a reduced entry fee riders can act as Tail End Charlies. Each pair will be allocated a 20-30 mile section of course which you will be required to ride with a two-way radio, staying behind the last rider making sure the course is clear. At the end of your section you will hand over to the next pair - you can then either continue on the route and finish the course, or return to race HQ.

All Tail End Charlie riders have the option of completing the entire course, as long as you ride your allocated section behind the last rider. You'll also get all the same goodies as full priced entries and be eligible for spot prizes.
