Scorching Helpers
We rely on our team of virtuous volunteers to keep the Scorcher series going. We have a whole raft of ‘vacancies’ can you help?
Do you know of anyone who could? Is your Partner/Mum/Dad keen to help out while you race?
Roles that we are looking for help with currently are:
Registration crew
For the day before each event (usually a Saturday afternoon*) – from 12:30 pm- 4:30pm
You will be responsible for
- the meet and greet of the Scorching particpants
- getting to them their race packs, numbers and
- being friendly and calming any nerves
- answering any simple questions they may have
*The exception being Jan 28 event where we will be looking for the Friday evening
Set up crew – the night before
Each night before an event we need crew to help with the set up of the race venue (ie transition and finish area) – usually between 6:30pm- 8:30pm
You will be responsible for getting all the transition and finish bits in place, ie
- bike racks assembled
- fencing / rope all in place
- finish gantry out into location etc
You will need to have some strength (bike racks & the finish gantry are not light – and there is some heavy hammer swinging required)
Set up crew – on the morning
We get to the event rather early to finish off the last parts of the set up – extra help would be appreciated from 5:30am onwards on event mornings to help with various parts of the process
You could be responsible for:
- getting out the sponsor flags and putting them in place
- finishing off the transition & finish line set up
- helping with body numbering
- setting up the beach area for the swim start and exits
- getting swim buoys ready
- helping getting the run course signage and cones in place
- setting up water tables
Timekeepers during the event
Since we run manual timing we are always on the lookout for those who might be able to help with the timekeeping duties – we would love to ensure that we have people that are interested in helping for multiple events (so that they can get up to speed with the processes and run them).
General marshal volunteers during the event
We do rely on a couple of groups to supply the majority of our marshalling needs, but there is always need for more (we have about 50 out on course every event).
You could end up anywhere on course:
- in or around transition
- on the beach
- on the bike course
- on the run course
- at the finish line
- on a water table
The possiblities stretch for 23 kilometres as to where you could be and what you might see happening
If you are interested in helping us out in any of the ways above, drop us a message via the contact form on this website.
If you could see other ways that you might be able to help us out – we would love to hear from you as well
Thank you
The Angels
