Between 10 and 20 volunteers are needed to act as race officials for Wild&Co events. Filling one of these spots is greatly appreciated by organisers and racers a like. As a part of the event you receive lots of appreciation, and are also eligible for the Wild&Co Volunteers Program a system that allows you to work your way towards a free entry for an equivalent event.

Duties  The races are 24 or 48 hours long depending on the event and continue around the clock. There are many duties that need to be carried out by race officials. These include:

  1. Helping put out or collect check points
  2. Helping at Race Registration and working at HQ
  3. Working on logistics, moving gear, loading bikes and kayaks
  4. Managing transition areas, sometimes overnight
  5. Acting as a safety spotter in water based areas of the course

Once you have committed to the race you will be slotted into a timetable to be rotated through these duties. You will be rostered on around the clock and there is a good chance you will have some night shifts. If you have specific requirements, for example need to remain at race HQ or prefer to manage a transition area, just let us know and we will work with this.

If you believe you have some specific skills which may be useful for the race, please let us know. We are always looking for people with the following skills:

  1. Water safety
  2. First aid
  3. Logistics
  4. Remote area 4wding

Timings Officials attending the event for the whole duration are required are from race briefing or soon after through to the end of the event.

If you are also available to assist on the days leading up to the event, we also need officials to help with race registration.

Accomodation  Wild&Co provides a tent or cabin site for volunteers depending on the HQ arrangements. For 24hr races this is usually unnecessary, for 48hr races there is usually a few bunk or stretcher beds available on a rotating basis. If you would prefer to make your own arrangements you are more than welcome.

Equipment  You will need to bring camping gear and food to be independent. Depending on the role you take on you may need

  • Tent or Swag
  • Sleeping gear
  • Cooking equipment
  • Head torch
  • Rain Jacket

Don’t forget warm clothes! You could well be rostered on to man a checkpoint in the middle of the night. It will most likely be cold so rug up!

That said, we will make an effort to make sure you are well looked after and have what you need to get the job done.

Transport  All manned checkpoints are located on major fire trails which are fine for 2wd vehicles to access. If you do not have transport it is still ok just let us know so we can arrange something. If you do have a 4wd, again let us know as we may position you in a harder to get to area.



  • Be the friendly face that helps sign teams in, hands out race packs and then helps to watch gear and manage HQ during the race.

  • Taking care of a transition area, signing in and co-ordinating teams as they pass through the transition area. Day time transition areas are usually early in the event and finish early evening.

  • Taking care of a transition area, signing in and co-ordinating teams as they pass through the transition area. Overnight transition areas are later in the event and are open for up to 12 hrs, usually through the night.

  • Help welcome teams over the line and record finish times, check control cards and record any missing CPs.

  • If you love reading a map and are want to get some extra run and mountain bike time in we'd love you to help collect CPs after teams have completed each leg.

  • Helping to co-ordinate the loading and unloading of gear boxes and kayaks and driving a transport truck or ute with a trailer.
