Volunteer
with outlaw
Support. Inspire. Experience.
Outlaw Triathlon have been delivering award-winning events for over 30 years, and a large part of this success is down to the commitment and contribution of our team of event crew and volunteers. The “family” feel created by our team - not only on race day but also before and after - is truly unique, and we are there to help our athletes achieve their goals and create memories.
We are always looking to expand our team of enthusiastic, friendly, and reliable people.
We use a volunteer management system called Rosterfy, which enables us to manage everything and provide you with relevant information closer to the event. Once you’ve signed up to Rosterfy, you’ll receive notifications via email when certain event shifts go live, so you can choose the shift you’d like to do. If this is something that interests you, please join our team by creating your very own Rosterfy account here.
Our volunteer shifts for this event are now open. Please click the link below which takes you to Rosterfy, log-in, choose your event, select your chosen shift(s) and complete the registration form.

Why Volunteer with us?
Our volunteers are at the heart of every Outlaw event – and we make sure you're looked after. Whether you're doing one shift or many, you'll get a warm welcome, great perks, and our heartfelt thanks.
We’re incredibly grateful for every volunteer who supports our events – we couldn’t do it without you. All volunteers in 2026 will receive:
- An official Outlaw Volunteers t-shirt
- An Outlaw gift
- Access to a dedicated volunteers’ break area with food and drink while on shift
- Free entry into one of our Future Outlaw childrens runs on the Saturday of the event weekend
For those volunteering for 6+ hours, we’re also offering:
- Free camping the night before your shift (subject to availability, based on the day you're volunteering)
- A £50 race credit, sent post-event, valid through the 2026/2027 season and includes guaranteed entry OR free entry into the Holkham 10K
As a thank you to our most dedicated team members, volunteers who attend two or more events across the year will receive an exclusive 'Outlaw Family' gift. All offers are subject to availability.

2026 TTP Cambridge Half Marathon
Volunteering at the TTP Cambridge Half Marathon is a great way to be part of the event’s excitement. It’s rewarding, fun, and many volunteers return year after year to cheer on thousands of runners through Cambridge’s historic streets.
We use a system called Rosterfy to coordinate volunteers. Create an account and then log in to choose your preferred shift. Once you’ve applied, you’ll receive a basic confirmation email, then we’ll be in touch closer to race day with more details.

Most roles take place on Sunday 8 March, from early morning to early afternoon. We also need help on Friday and Saturday for runner pack collection and event setup. Please do commit to the full shift — it’s incredibly hard to manage individual requests or changes on the day.
Volunteers come from all backgrounds – many are not runners, they just enjoy being involved! You don’t need to have previous experience – we will give you all the information and support you need.
You will need to be happy working in the following conditions:
- Being on your feet for long periods
- Being in a lively, noisy environment
- Being exposed to the elements (could be rain, could be sun!)
There’s something for everyone! If you’re unsure which role suits you or have accessibility needs, contact us and we’ll help.
- Course Marshals: A great way to see the action, you’ll be directing and cheering runners around the course.
- Start/Finish Team: Get runners to the start line on time and help them celebrate and recover when they come back through the Finish Funnel.
- Bag Stores: A great role if you’re organised and energetic, Bag Stores is critical to ensuring runners stay warm, relaxed and have fun from start to finish.
- Park & Ride Team: An early shift, ideal for Cambridge locals – you’ll welcome runners from buses and guide them to the event. Some roles also assist as course marshals later.
- Set-Up Team (Fri/Sat): See behind the scenes by helping prepare the site for race day.
- Enquiries & Pack Collection (Fri/Sat): Help runners collect packs and answer event questions.
- Volunteer Support: Look after fellow volunteers and make sure everyone’s in place (and has tea and biscuits!).
Volunteer roles are based on Midsummer Common apart from Course Marshals who are around the race route, which is split into Zones A-K (details below). You need to arrange your own travel to and from your shift location - meeting points and times are listed in Rosterfy.

You need to arrange your own travel - please check the meeting point location and time for your chosen shift fits with your travel plans. Ways to travel include:
- Walking
- Bike – we have a secure Bike compound on Midsummer Common (remember your lock) or Course Marshalls can simply secure their bike nearby to their shift location, as you normally would.
- Event day Park & Ride service (Sunday Only) – volunteers can claim a free ticket for this race day service, which operates earlier than normal. Please request this via your Rosterfy account by 25 Feb.
Park & Ride sites are based around the City Centre, the first buses start leaving the parking sites at 07:00 and the journey typically takes 15-20 mins. All buses drop and pick up close to Midsummer Common.
The previous table indicates the walk time from Midsummer Common to various Course Marshall Zones. Please note that Zone G is not suitable and Zones F & H are not recommended if you intend to use Park & Ride.
- Public transport – some public transport operations may be affected by road closures, so please check with your provider in advance
We encourage you to not drive but if you do, there is no parking at Midsummer Common (sorry but this includes disabled parking - the course route makes the event site inaccessible other than for emergency services). There may also be traffic restrictions – more details will be on our website nearer the event date.
Absolutely! Clubs and community groups bring a fantastic energy to our team-based roles like Bag Stores or Drink Stations. If you can bring 10 or more people, please get in touch to discuss opportunities - volunteers.events@teamwass.com Friends & family can apply for the same shift with multiple openings; we’ll do our best to keep you together as much as we can but ask you to be flexible.
Yes! It’s great to see families involved. Children need to be 8+ years and accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times. Suitable roles include Bag Stores and Course Marshals (avoiding Zones D, E & J in the heart of the City); we don’t recommend the Finish area for younger children. Rosterfy accounts are for 16+, so please email volunteers.events@teamwass.com for a separate form for under-16s.
We’ll send full details and training in the 2 weeks before the event. On the day, your Team Leader from our friendly and experience Crew will brief you and be on hand for support.
As a thank you, all volunteers who are checked in by their Team Leader will receive:
- Volunteer jacket
- Volunteer Gift
- Event goody bag
- Half-price standard entry for the 2027 event
- Food and drink on the day*
You can also claim your free Park & Ride ticket (Sunday Event Service only) – remember to request this via Rosterfy by 25 Feb.
*We provide brown bag lunches, each team is given a choice of fillings and flavours so everyone can pick something they like. We aim to cover most basic dietary requirements (e.g. vegan, gluten free) – but if you have a serious food allergy or need, please bring your own food, as we cannot guarantee that products will be free of cross contamination.
