Join the Volunteer team!
The MS Brissie to the Bay bike ride would not be possible without the support of a dedicated team of volunteers.
People throughout Queensland living with MS need to know we're there to provide support when they need it most. Will you be there to join us at the Ride to Fight MS as an invaluable volunteer?
We guarantee you'll have a great day, whether you're out on the course, at a refreshment station or at our Finishers' Village, you'll be part of this incredible day and truly making a difference.
VOLUNTEER ROLES
There's roles available to suit everyone at the MS Brissie to the Bay. You might have an early start on the Sunday morning, but it is more than worth it to be involved in this iconic event.
If you're keen to cheer on riders and be out on the course, then signing up to be a Course Marshal or Refreshment Station Assistant might be the role for you. Or if you'd prefer to be at our Finishers' Village, then check out the variety of venue roles we have below!
