Ultra Challenge® is the UK’s #1 Series of trekking & trail run events, with 40,000 participants taking part, and raising over £11 million for our charity partners each year. The events have the reputation as the ‘best’ – and you can become part of a special team!
Our Challenge Crew deliver an exceptional experience – with 20 unique events during our season. There’s a range of roles for those with previous event experience, or wanting to get involved in the world of outdoors events – or for anyone who’s after an interesting & worthwhile weekend volunteering!
We’re looking for enthusiastic individuals for event weekends. It can be fun and hugely rewarding – from helping to set up the rest stops, serving cups of tea & snacks, welcoming in challengers, or driving support vehicles – you’ll never have a mundane weekend! Fancy joining us and gaining some fantastic, meaningful, experience in the world of outdoor events? Or you may be a current participant wanting to help out on the other side of the setup – and earn ‘Challenge Credits‘!
Great events need great teams to deliver them! Ultra Challenge has a reputation for the highest quality events in the sector. We’re looking for ‘key staff’ with ‘event’ experience – who’ll share our ambition of delivering excellence! If you work as an Event Manager, or are a professional Freelancer looking to gain experience on outdoor events – you could be part of our Event Management Team delivering some of the UK’s best challenges.
Our Cheer Squad are an amazing bunch of energetic, passionate, and fun individuals – many of whom have taken part in Ultra Challenges, and are now using their energy to motivate others. We want to boost the ‘Squad’ – and if you can give a few hours, a full day, or a weekend to help create that special finish-line experience – handing out medals & cheering them in – this maybe for you!
‘I started competing in the Ultra Challenges, and after taking in part in a few I decided to join the Cheer Squad to help and celebrate others achieving their goals. The atmosphere is always amazing, and it’s like being part of a big family – I’ve made friends for life through being part of the Ultra Challenges.
Trek Masters are fit & active volunteers helping others along the courses, bringing their own deep experience of Ultra Challenge® events and a passion for helping others. As a Trek Master you’ll be part of a close knit team, allocated a section of the route to patrol, or to lead groups of participants when the going gets tough – and to support our safety teams during the day or night.
For recent graduates, or sandwich placement students, who can demonstrate a passion for the events, charity fundraising, or sporting sectors. You’ll gain experience of marketing, customer services, planning, and operations as we work towards delivering our Ultra Challenge® Series. Alongside week days at our Woolwich office – there’s the opportunity to work on the events with our experienced teams.
We’re looking for a friendly, organised and proactive ‘people-person’ to support & grow relationships with our charity partners. You’ll help charities recruit participants, run campaigns, and deliver an amazing experience for fundraisers from sign-up through to event day. If you love building relationships, enjoy variety, and want to work on inspiring events that raise £’ millions for good causes – we’d love to hear from you.
