Runaway Racing
Runaway event team

Join the team

Our races wouldn't be the same without the fantastic people working behind the scenes ensuring we deliver a safe and entertaining race experience for our runners.

During our 50K events this can be up to 30 people, completing numerous tasks before, during and after the run.

The event team is a group of individuals that form the backbone of these races, many working at multiple events. In return, we aim to provide a supportive and inclusive environment for those interested in helping and learning with race organisation.

Event Contractors - We are recruiting!

With our events growing in number and size, we are recruiting contractors to fill our core team roles.

Core team members are responsible for key elements of a race such as coordinating volunteers, managing critical locations (start/finish.checkpoints) or coordinating our course marking/sweeping.

How does it work?

In the lead up to each event we send out a request to the team to see who is available. Once we have a list of people we allocate everyone into the different roles, these typically are:

  • Course marking
  • Event base set-up
  • Course checking
  • Event base registration and marshalling
  • Checkpoint co-ordinator and marshalling
  • Route marshalling
  • Course sweeping
  • Finish line timing and marshalling
