The State Emergency Service will provide 134 volunteers to support this Sunday's City to Surf race in Sydney.
The volunteers will provide traffic and crowd control between Dover Heights and the finish line at Bondi Beach. The volunteers will engage in crowd management near the finish gates to help keep runners moving through after they have finished, and will also help keep pedestrians off the running track. Volunteers will also be involved in communications and logistics support and one volunteer will act as a liaison at the Operations Centre.
The attending volunteers will commence their duties as early as 6am, completing them around 3pm.
The volunteers attending are from the following SES units: Waverley-Wollahra, Randwick, Sutherland, Baulkham Hills, Marrickville, Kogarah, Rockdale, Wollondilly, Campbelltown, Fairfield, Camden, Bankstown, Liverpool and Hurstville.
In addition, a team of SES runners including SES Director General, Brigadier Philip McNamara, who is running his last City to Surf before retirement; will be running.
