As a volunteer, you will receive a high-quality T-shirt from us. We would ask that you wear the t-shirt on race day so that participants will recognize you as a volunteer. Otherwise, depending on the weather, we recommend sunscreen or a rain jacket. In some areas you should make sure you wear sturdy shoes.

What benefits do I receive as a volunteer?

We welcome every volunteer and want to provide you with added value. You can find a small list of the benefits for our volunteers here.

Can I apply as a volunteer together with friends?

Yes, because we all know that you have much more fun with friends. Just enter each other's names in the comments field when you register. Larger groups can also directly contact Thorben.

Until when will I receive detailed information about my volunteer opportunity?

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email from us. Once you’ve received this email, you are officially part of the DATEV Challenge Roth 2025 team. We will contact you again approximately four weeks before the event to provide your specific assignment details. You will only be scheduled during the time and at the locations you indicated. Assignments are made based on availability, so please ensure you can reach your selected locations independently. If you have any questions or need to make changes, feel free to reach out to us at any time.

Please also note that our race directors are volunteers themselves and support us alongside their regular jobs. Therefore, it may take a little longer to respond to some inquiries. We kindly ask for your patience, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Is there an age limit for volunteers?

No. However, there are areas where only people aged 14/16/18 can help. If in doubt, just ask us.

Do I need previous knowledge or special training to volunteer?

No, in most areas you do not need any previous knowledge. If so, you will find the requirements in the description of the areas of application.

Can I have a volunteer certificate issued as proof for my university, for example?

Yes, we will be happy to issue you a certificate. Please contact Thorben. The certificates are usually issued 1-2 months after the event.

Can I change my contact information and dress size after registering?

Yes, you can still change your data even after you have registered. Simply write us an email or call us.

Where can I stay overnight during my stay in Roth?

As a volunteer, you can of course also use our campsite at the swim start and our partner hotels. You can find more information here.
