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 8-12 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 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 5.30am Saturday morning but others won't be needed until later on.
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.
A very important job to keep track of the riders as they move around the course and make sure they register their timing dibber in the electronic dibber stations.
As T.E.C riders you will be paired up to ride at the back of the course behind the last rider, making sure the course is clear and checking in with the static Safety Marshals and HQ to allow the logistics of the race to keep moving. You'll need to be a strong, competent, patient rider and basic bike maintenance skills come in very handy! Each pair will be allocated a 20-30 mile section to complete and then hand over to the next pair at a designated point.
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.
