Race Volunteers - Please sign up and join us!
The West Highland Way Challenge Race can only take place with the support and hard work of all the Race Support Team and our volunteers. Thanks again to all of you who have supported the Challenge Race in previous years. Awesome job everyone!
Volunteering and being part of the support team is a very rewarding experience. The banter and atmosphere amongst all volunteers and competitors alike make for a great fun weekend. It is also hard work and requires a 'roll your sleeves up' and get stuck in where needed approach.
"Great fun being a volunteer. Great team work. Encouraged many runners/walkers/joggers to keep going. Food and drink was fab too. The generous amount and variety went down well" Volunteer 2018
"Loved being part of the race support team this year. Helping, encouraging, re-assuring and feeding the competitors at various stages on the route was great fun. Did not realise just how popular hot soup and hot dogs can be with long distance runners, the food of champions! It was hard work and I was knackered come Sunday night but I am so glad I did it. Great Event. Great Experience. Thanks to all involved." Volunteer 2019
We are currently looking for volunteers for the 2020 West Highland Way Challenge Race (Friday 29th May, Saturday 30th May and Sunday 31st May). Opportunities exist to help out at Race Registration in Milngavie, the finish area in Fort William and at check points along the route. Ideally we are looking for volunteers who are happy to work a long shift at check point/s. The work involved would be set up of the check point, greeting and supporting all competitors from the first to the last, then packing away the check point and heading on to another location where similar help and support is needed.
Sounds like an experience you would enjoy? Fancy joining us and being part of an amazing event?
