Join the Race Day Fun – No Running Required!

We're always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help bring race day to life! Whether you're high-fiving participants on the course or sending smiles and good vibes from the registration desk, you'll be right in the heart of the action – no running shoes necessary.

Volunteering is a fantastic way to soak up the electric atmosphere, support the athletes, and be part of something special. As a big thank you, Race Hub Australia is excited to offer all our race day volunteers:

• Free Race Hub Australia merchandise

• Complimentary entry to a future race of your choice (to the value of $60)

• Post-event breakfast with our awesome team and fellow volunteers
  
  Come be a part of the experience – we’d love to have you on board!
