TCS Sydney Marathon Running Show Volunteers
Running Show Volunteers
Roles & Responsibilities
At the TCS Sydney Marathon Running Show presented by ASICS (Expo) participants collect their race bib, browse official merchandise, running equipment and partner offers, and drop off their event day bag for them to collect post-race.
Multiple shifts will be available across the three days of expo. More information about the TCS Sydney Marathon Running Show presented by ASICS will be provided shortly.
As Volunteer Support, you will work very closely with the Volunteer Manager. You will be required to ensure all volunteers have signed-in, and received a t-shirt. You will help to organise volunteers into their functional areas and hand them over to their Team Leader/Supervisor. You will help the Volunteer Manager deploy volunteers, and re-deploy in areas as required. Throughout your shift you will check on the volunteers, take them extra water/snacks and solve problems while roaming the venue.
You must be available to attend a mandatory evening training/briefing session prior to Event Day to gain further information about your Roles & Responsibilities as a Volunteer Support.
You will liaise directly with the participants. Each runner should arrive at the registration desk with a confirmation email or SMS which contains their bib number. Race bibs will be collated in alpha-numeric order in boxes behind the counter which you will have to locate.
You will be the welcoming face of the TCS Sydney Marathon Running Show, directing participants to key areas; participant race bib collection, event information, expo exhibits, baggage drop-off area, etc.
You will assist in the drop-off area for participant clothing baggage. Some participants wish to have items ready for collection from near the finish line since the start line is in a different location. Participants will arrive at the pre-event baggage area with their clothing and belongings. These items will be taken out from the owner’s bag and placed into an event-provided bag. The participant will then hand you their bib number baggage sticker which you will place on the bag with their contact number. Baggage is then placed into the correct tubs for event race day.
We will also need assistance at the end of the day to assist with packing up the bags for transfer to the event venue.
Waste Warriors play a vital role in helping the TCS Sydney Marathon reduce its environmental footprint. Positioned at key waste stations throughout the expo and recovery village, you'll be front and centre of our sustainability efforts.
Your role:
-
Help participants sort waste into the right streams
-
Maximise recycling and reduce landfill
-
Collect excess clothing in the start chutes
-
Answer questions about best sustainability practices on-site
Don't worry - each shift begins with a full briefing, and you’ll have the support of our Sustainability Manager throughout the day. No prior experience required - just a passion for the planet!
