JOIN THE BUSTINSKIN RACE CREW

Race day doesn't happen without the people behind it.

Join the BustinSkin Race Crew for the Portland Pig Backyard Ultra on Friday 30 April 2027 and help us deliver one of the most unique race days on the BustinSkin calendar.

Backyard racing is as much about the crew as it is the runners. There are loads of ways to get involved — from registration and course marshalling to lap support, refreshments and helping keep everything moving as the race goes on... and on... and on!

No experience is needed. We'll make sure you have all the information you need before race day.

GIVE A RACE DAY. GET A RACE DAY.

The Pig is a little different — nobody knows when it's going to finish!

Race Crew Credit is therefore based on the amount of time you give us:

Up to 3 hours: £25 credit
4–6 hours: £40 credit
6–9 hours: £60 credit
9+ hours / major event shift: £70 credit

Credit is awarded after completing your agreed shift and can be used towards an eligible BustinSkin race entry. If the entry costs more than your credit, simply pay the difference.

You can also bank credits from multiple events towards a bigger race later.

Race Crew Credit is valid for 18 months from the date earned. Credit is personal to the volunteer, non-transferable, has no cash alternative and is subject to event availability.

Race Crew who take on an extended shift, key responsibility or make an exceptional contribution may receive additional credit or a free race entry as a thank-you. Speak with Mark or Lins at the event.

We'll keep the Race Crew fed and watered throughout their shifts. There may also be event merchandise available and, where possible, we'll finish off with a thank-you meal or drink together after the race.

WHO CAN JOIN?

Race Crew registration is 18+, as many roles involve independent marshalling or travelling to positions around the course.

Got the kids with you? No problem. Children are welcome to come along with a registered adult where the role and location are suitable. They're also pretty useful for cheering, high-fives and making plenty of noise!

Whether you've marshalled with us for years or this would be your first time, we'd love to have you on the team.

Not racing the Pig? Come and be part of it instead.

HOW TO USE YOUR RACE CREW CREDIT

When you're ready to enter an eligible BustinSkin event, email volunteercredit@bustinskin.com with your name, the event and shift you helped at, and the race you'd like to enter.

You'll receive a discount code to use when entering. If the entry costs more than your available credit, simply pay the difference.
