Get involved | Nedbank Gravel Burn

Volunteer

Be part of Nedbank Gravel Burn as close to the action as it gets, without riding.

We look for energetic, engaging and dedicated people to join our international team on a journey through some of South Africa's lesser-known regions, with a unique insight into the inner workings of the auspicious Burn Camps of a frontier gravel stage race, and a hand in making it all happen.

Our volunteers are often the life partners and friends of riders: it's a way to be part of the week together and experience the Burn Camps too.
