VOLUNTEER AT THE AWA BACKYARD ULTRA

Events  like The Awa Backyard Ultra are only possible with the help of  volunteers! We need your help to ensure that the event runs smoothly and all the runners/walkers have a safe and enjoyable time.

We need volunteers throughout the weekend. From registration on Friday and through the event itself over Saturday and Sunday. If you would like to get involved and help us out then please get in touch by message through Facebook, or email theawa@apistaevents.co.nz

As an individual volunteer, we will look after you with lunch on the day and free event merch. 

If you are a club or group who would like to volunteer as a group we would love to have you involved for a koha back to your organisation. 

The volunteer roles available are:

Putting tape and signage out on the course (one day during the week leading up to the event). You need to be confident navigating the course. This can be done by foot or by mountain bike.
