Event Crew Programme

Are you keen to get involved in adventure racing but not sure if it’s for you? Are you supporting friends or relatives who have entered the Rat Race urban adventure challenge? Are you looking for work experience in the events or adventure sectors? Or do you just want to spend some time in a beautiful place with some great people behind the scenes at a cool event?

If so, why not join the Rat Race crew and see what goes on behind the scenes!

Roles are varied, but each and every adventure challenge crew member has an important and valued role to play at the event. You will need to be adaptable and hard-working, plus use initiative and be quick-thinking in dealing with situations whether they are at Rat Race Base or in a remote location on the course. The role of an event crew member is demanding... but extremely rewarding at the same time. You will be warmly welcomed by the Rat Race team and you are sure to find your day a most rewarding experience.

The Reward for your help
Not only will you have a great day out we will also offer you some nice rewards in return for your help! The offers will vary depending on role and event however they will usually include some money or Rat Race Store vouchers as well as discount entry to some of our events.

Typical Rat Race Crew Roles

You can be involved in any or many of the activities at the times below:

Event Village activities: Public facing, you may be asked to operate the mad-ass bungee run, help with the trampoline and concession stands, or perform general support duties like being an "info-runner" for the MC or putting up ad hoc promo posters.
Competitor admin: accounting and admin staff to help manage the entries, refresher course sign-ups, queries, and team registrations. You don't have to be fit; just efficient, very patient and friendly! It's great fun because the teams are generally buzzing with excitement (and sometimes confusion) and it's your role to channel that into a sense of order...!

Race Crew: happy, patient, enthusiastic types to look after designated checkpoints, giving (or actively not giving!) information as briefed by the Crew coordinator. Competitors LOVE to see a crew member when they're tired and bewildered!
