Many thanks for considering helping at the Northern Traverse in April 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. 

We have a variety of Event Team roles available between Friday 4th April and Thursday 10th April:

• Team 1 – St Bees/Shap/Robin Hood's Bay – Friday 4th - Thursday 10th (7 days)
• Team 2 – St Bees/Kirkby Stephen – Friday 4th - Monday 7th (4 days)
• Team 3 – Borrowdale/Richmond – Saturday 5th - Tuesday 8th (4 days)
• Team 4 – Patterdale/Lordstones – Saturday 5th - Wednesday 9th (5 days)
• Weekend Only - Saturday 5th - Sunday 6th (2 days)
• Bag Drop Team - Friday 4th - Thursday 10th (7 days)
• Catering Assistant – Friday 4th - Thursday 10th (7 days)

Applications to join the event team at the Northern and Lakes Traverse 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 - we will give preference to people who have indicated they are happy to drive a hire vehicle for the duration of the event.
• You are willing to join any of the teams if your first choice is not possible.

Important notes 

• No friends or family can accompany you while you are volunteering with the event, sorry.
• Event Team may be required to use the transport provided by us to move between support points. Use of own vehicles is ONLY possible if agreed with us in advance and as per your role.
• You will be either camping in tents, sleeping in village halls, or in your campervan (only if pre-agreed)
• Note that this event is a continual non-stop race and therefore each roles shift times will vary per day and you will be expected to work some hours during the night.
• You will gain event credits based on the number of days you are volunteering. £180 for 2 days, £360 for 4 days, £450 for 5 days, or £600 for 7 days (that also being the equivalent to the price of entering the 2025 Northern Traverse minus the non-refundable deposit - ideal if you are considering taking part in future!).
• We will cover up to £100 in travel expenses for getting to and returning home from the event.
