NEMTB will be once again be using an online system that allows you to register and choose the roles and timeslots that suit you. If you are unable to access a computer and you can also help, please ring Carolyn on 0428 539 414 who will be happy to complete the process for you.

Or read below for further details and information.

There are two Event Centres – Sport UNE and the Booloominbah Homestead (Friday only)

Course marshalls duties are to radio any issues such as accidents, rider complaints, spectator issues to the Marshall Co-ordinator, and to supervise spectators at key points.

One of the Marshal positions is titled Marshalls First Aid Qualified. This person will need to be workplace first aid qualified. These positions will be positioned at the two main technical features on the XCO course and will act as a first responder before the onsite St John Ambulance Paramedics can get to the location to assist or evacuate the patient.
