Volunteers

The team behind the trail

Sport, fun and emotions!

You make the difference! Whether at the aid station or as a track marshal, as a volunteer you are right in the thick of things. Are you interested in taking a look behind the scenes and motivated to be right in the middle of things instead of just watching from the sideline? Then you’ve come to the right place!

You decide which areas of work you prefer and indicate your individual availability.

There are various areas of work to choose from. You can prioritize these according to your interests, strengths, and personality traits.

Have you already set your sights on a specific area of work that you definitely want to be assigned to? A little tip: the higher your availability, the more likely you are to be able to work mainly in your preferred area.

Every task counts!
