VOLUNTEERS

Why not contribute to this great event by volunteering your time.

With 25km of course, 7 bridges and 7 villages we certainly need a hand. All the money raised on event day will be equally split between beyondblue: the national depression initiative, The Cancer Council NSW, Diabetes Australia - NSW and The Heart Foundation. We can’t make this event a success without the assistance of volunteers.

Each volunteer will be supplied with an event T-Shirt and Cap. All event day volunteers will receive a lunch pack on event day and a Certificate of Appreciation.

Becoming a volunteer is easy! Simply look through the list of roles and duties below, and what village is most convenient for you to check in at - then register online!

UPDATE 20-10-08: We are still seeking volunteers for our villages at Hunters Hill and Lane Cove only, so if you can help us for the day, please register now selecting either of these 2 villages.
