Volunteer

Volunteers
Volunteers are a key part of making Sprint the Summit safe, welcoming, and fun. Help with set-up, check-in, water stations, route marshalling, and tear-down — and gain hands-on event experience while supporting an inclusive wellness event on campus. Volunteers can receive event operations training and CCR hours.

Organized by the SFSS

Sprint the Summit is hosted by the Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS), representing 25,000+ students across 360+ SFU programs. The SFSS runs major campus events and community initiatives focused on student life, wellness, and connection — and Sprint the Summit is our newest effort to inspire healthy, active living and build a lasting Burnaby Mountain tradition.
