msg Maraton Apuseni invites you to join the team of volunteers who organize the trail running competition that crosses small villages, hills, rivers and peaks of the Apuseni Mountains. Regardless of your experience in organizing educational or sports events, we gladly welcome you to our team! You can choose the area you wish to volunteer in – the base camp at Buscat Ski & Summer Resort or along the route in the Muntele Baisorii, Sagagea or Izvorul Belioarei areas. You can also choose a certain activity you want to get involved in or maybe learn about. Continue reading the brief description of each opening where we need your help, fill in the volunteer form and read details about the competition on this website, especially the sections Race Info and Races. This information will be very useful during your volunteering time at msg Maraton Apuseni.

Areas you can choose at msg Maraton Apuseni:

Buscat base camp

This is the “command center” of the competition, here you will feel the vibe of the event. A lot of activities take place here simultaneously. You can choose to get involved in:

Foto

Every event needs photographers to capture the special moments of the contest. If you simply love photography, we are waiting for you in our team!

Start-Finish

You will cheer for runners at the Start, and, most importantly, at the Finish line. The feeling of being encouraged and welcomed with joy after a long race is wonderful!

Race kits

They will be distributed on the day of the event and a few days before. We will need you to prepare them and give them to participants in the race.

Logistics & Supplies

Such a big event needs serious supplies. If you volunteer in this department you will help us deliver all the necessary equipment, food and beverages to the nutrition and hydration stations before the contest. You will also help us take everything back at the end of the competition.

Route marking & cleaning, before & after the competition

Every section of the route will be marked with ribbons that will guide the runners. It is very important to have clearly signaled routes, but it is also very important to clean these routes afterwards and leave them without any trace of the competition.

After party

If you want to volunteer in organizing the party that follows the festivities and you have a good sense of humour, this is your place at the msg Maraton Apuseni!

Along the route: Muntele Baisorii, Sagagea or Izvorul Belioarei

If you prefer volunteering “remotely”, we invite you to join the teams that run the check points, the hydration stations or the nutrition stations along the route, the team of mobile photographers or the team of “race closing runners”. While volunteering in these teams, you will fully enjoy the picturesque sceneries the Apuseni Mountains offer to the wandering eye!

Mobile photographers

We need photographers in various points on the route. You can choose the area you want or you can move if another area inspires you more!

Hydration Stations

Together with your team you will make sure every competitor that passes by the hydration station will find water or energizing drinks available. You must be fast, runners mustn`t lose time waiting to have them prepared.

Nutrition stations

Together with your team, you will make sure all foods and beverages are ready in time so that all competitors passing by the nutrition station will find freshly cut fruits, sweets, water and energizing drinks. Sometimes the runners arrive in waves. Here as well, you must be fast!

Check Points / Directing

At check points you will track all competitors that run through that check point.

On each section we will need 1-2 volunteers in check points set by organizers. They will support and show competitors their way. You will need to know what distance left until the next Nutrition Station and until Arrival. All volunteers will receive more detailed instructions, verbal and written, before the competition.

Race closing runners

The last competitors will be accompanied on the route by volunteers who will make sure that at the end of each race nobody is left behind. You need strong feet and good fitness level to be a race closing runner!
