The volunteer opportunities aim to cover the needs of the road Races and support the overall strategic planning of the event. We strive to keep up with your preference upon completing the application if and when it is possible based on the conditions, parameters and limitations that exist in every opportunity / employment field and provided that you indicate it clearly in your volunteer application form, in the field “Name of other volunteer or group you wish to be together at the same station”, and as long as that this specific position is available.
Yes, provided that you indicate it clearly in the volunteer application form, in the field “Name of other volunteer or group you wish to be together at the same station”.
You will receive an e-mail with all relevant information of the specific position 7-10 days prior to the race.
Yes, failure to show up will create an irreplaceable void at the position to which you have been assigned and will not have been filled in time.
Time depends on the volunteer opportunity and the shift (morning or afternoon). Each shift lasts about 5-6 hours depending on position.
Volunteering is not something you do out of obligation. It is essential and absolutely necessary to complete the task you choose to perform respecting your assigned team.
Yes. By contacting the Volunteering Program we will provide available slots to arrange an informative training session.
Yes, gladly enough. We are now a 2-day event which means you could run one day and volunteer the other day as long as you register and apply the soonest possible. Our Volunteering Program’s team will do its best to provide the best possible option for your volunteering commitment.
Failure to show up on the day of the Race will create an irreplaceable void at the position to which you have been assigned, since no one will be able to replace you at that time.
You should definitely inform the Volunteering Program as soon as possible – a minimum of 2 weeks notice period is required in order for a replacement to be found.
Volunteers must be available on the days of the Race. ONLY volunteers who will be present on the day of the Race will receive a Certificate of Participation in the event.
No. As a preventive measure, all volunteers are insured – using the information contained in their application forms – by the insurance company that insures the staff of the organizer. In the event of an accident, the “non-volunteer” will not be covered by health care insurance.
On the day of the event, many of the areas where the races take place are overcrowded; therefore your children would need appropriate supervision. If you wish to bring your children with you, it is preferable to choose a support station to offer your services where the environment is relatively safer and you would also need to fill in your child’s application form.
All volunteers must wear our official Volunteer T-shirt of the event and their personalised accreditation. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes.
No, there is no personal items storage area and all volunteers are prompted to carry only the items that are absolutely necessary for personal use.
The race will take place under any weather conditions unless there are exceptional circumstances that require the delay, the postponement or the cancellation of the race.
No, it is the responsibility of the volunteer to keep the T-shirt of the event intact until the day of the race.
No. Whatever you receive is a souvenir of the event for its participants – given the fact that you were present and have signed off upon departure.
You would need to have an “open heart – mind – personality” and respect for yourself and your teammates. Devotion and positive attitude are key since requirements vary from position to position, however, for many volunteer positions, fluency in English and eagerness to acquire new experiences is essential.
No, as long as you arrange your accommodation in Athens yourselves. Besides, volunteers who participate in the event come from all over Greece.
The Volunteering Program occasionally sends group e-mails. Please be aware that several e-mail service providers and spam filters redirect our e-mails to the Spam / Junk mail folders of the users or even prevent their receipt. For this reason we advise you to monitor both your e-mail and your spam folder. If you need further assistance please get in touch with us.
