Organising & Planning, People Skills
For the photographer and videographer roles we require that you have experience and a good camera. Some basic literacy is required for registration and if you are planning the route you will be moving around so you need to have the adequate level of fitness. The most important skill of all is to have a friendly attitude and a big smile on your face.
The opportunity to be part of a fun event and to meet new people.
The event takes place on Sunday 6 December at 10.30am. There is no fixed ending time but the run goes for 5k.
