How about volunteering for AMBC?

We’d love to hear from you if you can assist in any way or are interested in the following:
  • Course design and set up – Want to design great courses, learn some course set up skills and spend a day on the bike? Work with the Event Race Director to set and mark out the course and ride the track prior to the race!
  • Registration – Direct and assist riders to collect online entry registartion packs/transponders/plates.
  • Pre Race Briefing – If you moonlight as a DJ after dark, then this is for you! Your job entails giving the pre race address! We’d also love an announcer during the race, for those not wishing to ride.
  • On the day pre race set up – transition/feed zoneserect marquee, banners, tables, signs.
  • On the day post race pack up – pack up marquee, collect signs/arrows/bunting/poles/banners.
  • Marshalling – If you’ve had a burning desire to wave a chequered flag at a fast finish…then this is for you! At times we also require on course marshals, and occasionally, car park marshals.

As a volunteer you will receive briefing about your duties AND a reward as recognition for your valuable time!

Volunteers play an important and integral role in the continued success of all AMBC events.
