Become a volunteer

We have something for everyone, from being the first to greet thousands of participants, cheering them on as they take on the course, or handing out their hard earned finisher gear as they cross the finish line. Whatever you do as a volunteer, you’ll be at the heart of it all, creating life-changing experiences for everyone – including yourself.

You can browse all the available roles before you commit to anything. Every volunteer receives transferable priority registration for next year's race.

DROP BAGS Helping collect runner drop-bags at collection points and then distribute out to checkpoints.

GEAR CHECK Collecting , sorting and re-distributing runner gear on the start and finish lines.

RECOVERY ZONE Welcoming runners after they cross the line and helping them recover, refuel and reflect on their incredible achievement.

Volunteering at Ultra-Trail Australia was a life changing experience for me. To see so many people overcoming countless limitations in completing the 100km course gave me a new perspective on life. I am not a runner myself but somehow I feel that a little bit of their bravery rubbed off on me.

Volunteering at Ultra-Trail Australia, in all sincerity, is my favourite weekend of the entire year
