volunteer with wolf pack

Be part of the pack without racing.
Help run one of the UK’s most unusual survival events, meet brilliant people, and spend a weekend outdoors with purpose and atmosphere.

Why Volunteer?

Wolf Pack volunteers aren’t background crew — they are the heart of the weekend.
You’ll get to:

  • meet racers at their highest and lowest moments

  • support people doing something genuinely difficult

  • be part of the story, the atmosphere and the weird rituals

  • spend a weekend in nature with a brilliant group of humans

  • see the event from behind the scenes before ever choosing to race it

Everyone who has volunteered so far has said it was one of the highlights of their year.

“Thanks so much everyone for such an incredible weekend. I had way more fun than I was expecting and met some wonderful people so hope to meet y’all again soon ❤️❤️”

Roles You Can Do

Volunteers often rotate roles depending on where support is needed. You don’t need prior experience — we brief and support you in advance.

Checkpoint Marshal

Record timings, guide teams, encourage people, and make sure everyone is accounted for.

Route Support / Rover

Move between key points, check on teams, communicate with HQ, and assist anyone who needs help.

Camp Crew

Help set up the campsite, maintain the fire, serve tea/food, organise kit, and create a calm dependable atmosphere.

Campfire Host

Run the campfire vibe: keep the fire going, help with the music setup, welcome racers into camp, create warmth (literal and social).

Challenge Host

Run one of the Wolf Pack challenges — from Welly Wang to Fire Lighting to The Sacred Aubergine series. Training provided. Absurdity guaranteed.

First Aider

Support minor injuries, blisters, knocks and check-ins.
(You’ll need a valid first-aid certification.)

Logistics Support

Help with moving kit, organising transport points, directing arrivals and assisting with start/finish tasks.
