If you’ve thought about volunteering at the World Masters Games 2017 but haven’t yet signed up, never fear – there’s still time to get involved.
The World Masters Games 2017 (WMG2017) needs a few more volunteers to complete its 4000-strong Pit Crew, who will help athletes to achieve their personal best and play a vital role in ensuring the Games run smoothly.

It’s expected there will be 25,000-plus athletes and supporters from around New Zealand and 100 countries around the world coming to the Games.
