Marshals
Behind every awesome MTB east race is a small (but mighty!) band of volunteers. These legends give up their time to make the magic happen—not just on race day, but in the lead-up too, prepping the course, setting up logistics, and sorting results afterward.
Can you lend a hand?
Are you racing later and free to help in the morning? Or brought a pal who can pitch in while you’re on the course? We need YOU to join our marshalling team! Here’s the lowdown on what you’d be doing and the perks you’ll get in return.

🔍 What’s a Marshal, Anyway?
Marshalling isn’t just a fancy word—it’s your chance to be part of the action! You’ll:
    •    Stand at a designated spot on the course (don’t worry, we’ll give you a map).
    •    Cheer on riders, keep them on track, and maybe toss in some cheeky banter.
    •    Have a radio or phone number to report any incidents (which are super rare).

Not up for wandering the woods? No worries! Help out with timekeeping instead. This job’s a breeze—just jot down or call out rider numbers as they fly by.

⏱️ How Long Do I Need to Help?
We’re flexible! Join us for:
    •    Morning Session: 08:30 - 11:30
    •    Afternoon Session: 11:30 - 14:30
    •    All Day: 08:30 - 14:30

Even if it’s just for one race, we’ll be thrilled to have you.

🚑 What If There’s an Emergency?
These are super rare, but safety comes first. If something happens:
    1.    Make sure YOU are safe.
    2.    Call it in to control.
    3.    Make sure the casualty and riders are safe, wait for the medical team/Comms team to handle the rest.

🛠️ What Do You Get in Return?
We believe in rewarding our heroes! Here’s what’s in it for you:
    •    Half a Day: Free drink (hot or cold) + 50% off race entry.
    •    Full Day: Free drink, free hot food, AND free race entry.

Ready to join the crew and make MTB East events even more epic? We’d love to have you on board! 🚴‍♂️💨
