The Volunteer Page
Please DM either Richard Patient or Colin Harris if you'd like to volunteer. Thank you very much.
Please arrive at the start soon after 12.00noon.
Roles:
Timer: The Timer uses the Corre Libre app to send the runners off, in order. They then press the button on the app every time a runner finishes. Note: the Corre Libre app is only on Android phones - if you have an Android phone, please download it. If not, we can lend you a phone for the task. Oh - and switch the phone onto airplane mode during the race. Here's a more detailed briefing about the app.
Numbers: At the finish, Numbers the hands a washer token to each runner in the order they finish. They then send the runner off to the Field Results person to enter the results. (If low on volunteers, Numbers and Field Results can be the same person, but best not to be).
Field results: Field results records the waves of the starters as they start. At the end, they collects the washer tokens from the runners and marks them down on a numbered list. They also ask the runners to tell them if they started on the correct wave or not. Please download, print and bring this PDF with you.
Photographer: We love photographs, so this is a great task.
Run report: This is another great task. Needs to be done as soon as possible after the race.
Race Director: Tries to do absolutely nothing. Never succeeds.
If you'd like to volunteer for the next race, email or whatsapp Richard Patient, with your preferred role.
