What are the time commitments?

This will vary depending on your task. As an example, allow about 5 hours +/-. Once you Register and indicate a preference and your availability, the Volunteer Coordinator will be in contact closer to the event so your preferences can be met.

As a Volunteer can I also participate as a walker?

You can. After you have registered as a volunteer, you will receive details of walking options for volunteers.

Do NOT also register as a walker until after first registering as a volunteer.

Is there a cost to walk as a Volunteer?

Volunteer walkers taking on roles such as ‘Tail walkers’ must also register as participants if you want to get the medal.

Registered volunteer walkers will get a discounted entry and will be eledigable for all prizes and benefits as other participants.

Good comfortable footwear, sunhat, water, sunscreen, appropriate clothes for the weather on that weekend.

Also bring your good humour, a smile and some welcoming chat for walker encouragement. 😁
