Volunteers

Come be a part of one of NZ's largest fun run/walk events as a volunteer. With an event of this size, it wouldn't be possible without the help of our volunteers, and we promise you'll have just as much fun as the participants

Why volunteer at Round the Bays

A volunteer wearing a light blue event T-shirt and a red lanyard smiles at the camera. Behind her, other volunteers, also in light blue T-shirts, are organizing supplies from a truck during an outdoor community event.

Feel good event

Have fun with friends, soak up the fun atmosphere, and enjoy the friendly smiles from participants.

A group of five people wearing teal shirts with lanyards around their necks pose together after volunteering at a running challenge. They are standing outdoors, and a sign in the background reads, "50 MIN." The atmosphere is cheerful and celebratory.

Help the local community

Volunteers make this event happen, allowing thousands of people to get out and get moving, improving their physical and mental well being.

A large group of people wearing colorful shirts, vests, and hats gather together and smile for a photo. Two individuals in animal costumes, one resembling a tiger and the other a bear, stand among them. The background features greenery and a building facade.

Learn new skills

From pre-event organisation to on the day, no volunteer job is the same. Extend your experience and learn new skills at Southern Cross Round the Bays.
