Do you want to be part of something big!?

The Ninja Run is coming to a city near you, and we are looking for volunteers!
To make the events happen, we need reliable, energetic, fun-loving team players who want to be part of something big.
As a TNR volunteer, you'll help bring the course to life, support our runners, create an awesome event atmosphere and be part of an unforgettable experience in your city.


The Ninja Run is a national movement designed to get people moving, connecting, laughing, puffing, and creating lifelong memories.
Our volunteers play a huge role in bringing that experience to life - you'd be cheering on runners, helping with odd jobs around the course, creating energy, and being part of a positive, fun, high-energy event team.
Volunteers must be reliable, energetic, fun-loving team players.
They will need to attend the initial briefing and training session, usually held on Thursday or Friday from 4:30pm–6:30pm, which includes a lap of the course, uniform issue, training, and food.
It is preferable for them to commit to 2 shifts, with shift options usually being:
8:30am-2:00pm and
1:30pm–7:00pm

As a thank-you, each volunteer will receive:
An exclusive TNR Volunteer shirt to keep
Pre-Event Course Access (Bring Up to 5 Family & Friends!)
A Certificate of Volunteering / Contribution, which may support CVs, school records, service portfolios, and future applications
Training, food, and a full course experience before event weekend
