WHAT YOU DO

ROLES

Registration to provide the first welcome to the thousands of True Grit participants.
Bag drop is a key part of the participant experience, and typically the last stop before Gritters make their way to the start line.
Finish line to help organise finishers t-shirts and drinks for participants.
Obstacle marshals are people who help to encourage and motivate our participants and teach them technique as they embark on a 10+km challenge, with 30+ obstacles. True Grit volunteers, need to show some grit at times just like our participants. We start early as morning shifts kick off at 6:45am. We need people who are up for the challenge and who are prepared to work with others.
