Many thanks for considering helping at the Cape Wrath Ultra® in May 2025.
As we've done in previous events, we would like to ask that you apply for a specific role now, rather than us allocating you a role before the event. We believe that this will help set your expectations at this early stage, and ensure we have a happy event team to support the event in roles they are best suited to.
Applications to join the event team at the Cape Wrath Ultra® are usually oversubscribed and we try to pick the very best people to help us deliver a world-class event. You are more likely the get on the event team if:
- You are willing to drive an event hire vehicle for the duration of the event - if you have a full UK licence, it is assumed you are willing to drive a hire vehicle for this event
- You are willing to join any of the teams if your first choice is not possible.
Camp Team Applications
This is a key role building and dismantling overnight camps, including setting up and taking down the start/finish line area, assisting with dry bags and overseeing kit checks, running the hot drinks tent, and supporting runners at the start and finish. Unlike in previous years, there is no separate Start/Finish Team; these roles will be brought under the Camp Team.
Important notes
- We will need everyone who is volunteering to be available from Saturday 17th May 2025 at 08:00 until mid-morning on Monday 26th May 2025 (not including travelling home time)
- Accommodation (camping) and meal on the Friday night before is provided.
- You will be camping on the event site every night. If staying in your camper van is important to you then, with regret, please do not sign up - sorry!
- No friends or family, or dog(!) can accompany you while you are volunteering with the event.
- The Event Team will be required to use the transport provided by us to move between campsites. Use of own vehicles is ONLY possible if agreed with us in advance for a specific event purpose. Any volunteer using their own vehicle should check that their insurance policy covers 'voluntary work'.
- We only accept Event Team applications from people who can commit to the entire time requirement shown above. Please don't think you can leave early at the end of the Event as this has a disproportionate impact on the ones left behind! It is essential that everyone stays until the end!
- You will gain £1500 in event credits for volunteering at this event. This is subject to the new cap of £150 per day we offer for event credits in 2025 onwards, and is less than the price of entering the event.
- We will cover up to £100 in travel expenses for getting to and returning home from the event.
