Volunteer Shifts

Pre race Build

Help build obstacles, set up tents and fence lines in Festival, and mark the course. If you’d like to see the behind the scenes of what goes into putting on a Spartan event, this is the perfect shift for you!

Festival

Help our Festival Team on race days at the start corral, finish line, bag check, and other festival operations. If you like to be around fast paced action, this is the perfect shift for you!

Registration

Help our Registration Staff check in racers, answer questions and provide racers with their race packets (training provided). If you’re good with computers and can put a smile on bright and early in the morning, this is the perfect shift for you!

Course

Help our Build Crew on race day(s) by VERBALLY instructing and motivating racers over obstacles and through the course. Volunteers are responsible for reporting injuries, and serving as our eyes and ears on the course. Course volunteers help reset and/or break down some obstacles as well.

Spartan Ops

Help with tasks like greeting racers and managing check-ins at registration, cheering participants on along the course, or handing out well-earned shirts and medals at the finish line. This is the ideal shift for those who are new to volunteering or open to lending a hand wherever it’s needed most.

Pre Runner

Run the course pre-race to ensure weather (or animals!) have not disrupt the course overnight. NOTE: as some mornings are dark, we ask that you bring your own headlamp. Upon completion, you will be reassigned to on-course until the end of your shift.

Obstacle Referee

Are assigned to obstacles with higher fail rates. During the Elite heats, they ensure that all competitors complete the penalty loop if they do not successfully complete the obstacle. Once the Elite heat has passed through, Obstacle Referees transition to general course volunteer responsibilities for the remainder of their shift. This role requires a strong understanding of obstacle rules, confidence in enforcing penalties, and clear communication skills.

Kids Course

Kids Race volunteers help our staff with the overall production and safety of the Kids Race event. They cheer on our little Spartans as they run our epic Kids Course. The last day of racing will include tear down of the entire kids course and festival area following the last heat of the day. If you love kids, this is a no brainer, this is the perfect shift for you!

Sweep

You will be responsible for following behind the last participant to ensure that no one is left behind or in need of assistance. You will be asked to assist our Course marking team with any adjustments, to collect course tape.

Breakdown Crew

Help build crew with obstacle breakdown, festival team with clearing festival area and packing.

Post event

Help break down obstacles on course, take down tents & fence lines, along with other festival tasks.

**We try our best to place you and your friends in your desired stations, however in some cases we will ask volunteers to fill priority roles.
