Many thanks for considering helping at Northern Traverse 2026. This includes the following races:

• Northern Traverse starts Saturday 28th March, courses close Wednesday 1st April
• Lakes Traverse starts Saturday 28th March, courses close Sunday 29th March
• Dales Traverse on Sunday 29th March
• Moors Traverse on Sunday 29th March

We need event team volunteers in a variety of roles (registration, starts, aid stations, finishes, course operations), across a variety of days and locations. We plan to split most of the volunteer event team to work either:

• Western and Central areas (from St. Bees through the Lakes and Dales to Richmond) where we need people variously from Friday lunchtime to Tuesday
• Eastern Areas (across the North York Moors to Robin Hood’s Bay) where we need people from Saturday evening through Thursday morning.

On the application please indicate your preferred area (or if you could do either), and the days you can be available (which need not be all the above days for a given area, for example it could just be the weekend in West/Central, but should be a continuous block of at least 2 days). We will then allocate people to days, locations and roles.
