But I'm already running a stage! Can I still help?

You can! There are a number of tasks that only take a few hours. This way you have the complete experience: run for your team and help out!

Are you running a night stage?
Then take a look at the meal and breakfast shift, or the loading/unloading point. Or become a traffic controller in the center of Enschede!

Running a stage in the morning or afternoon?
Help build up the finish on Friday afternoon, or become a traffic controller in the center of Nijmegen!

In addition, you can always help out in the week before the race and on Sunday!

What do I get as a crew member?

When you commit yourself as a volunteer to the Batavierenrace, there is of course something in return. During the race you will get enough food and drinks, in addition, all crew will be offered a meal on Saturday evening (volunteer dinner) and an invitation to the thank-you drink where you can chat a little after the race. You can also get a free place to sleep on the campus of the University of Twente. And very important for many: you will also receive the limited edition Batavierenrace volunteer hoodie as a souvenir!
