CALLING ALL OBSTACLE RUNNERS!

Promote our volunteer staff positions at Obstacle Run 2026 to your relatives and friends! Only with the support of dedicated staff can we as organizers run such events.

If you as an individual or with your club can make yourself available between Thursday, May 28 and Sunday, May 31, 2026 for one or more days and thus make Switzerland’s biggest obstacle run possible, we are hugely grateful.
The compensation per day is CHF 50 per person. In addition, all staff receive a T-shirt, a cap and catering. Parking is available and overnight accommodation in shared rooms is available in the sports hall.

There are many interesting tasks such as setting up and dismantling the start and finish area, setting up the sports hall as a changing room, bib number distribution and valuables deposit, setting up the course with various obstacles, responsibility for safety on the course and at the obstacles, working at the refreshment stations, handing out finisher shirts and medals at the finish, directing spectators at road crossings, and more.

We look forward to every registration. Together as a staff team we will experience unforgettable sporting moments and we thank you in advance for every commitment.
