INTRODUCING THE VOLUNTEER AWARD SCHEME
The IOMAA’s Volunteer Award Scheme, proudly supported by Altenar, is a fantastic initiative designed to retain and increase volunteers within club athletics on the Isle of Man. The scheme aims to recognise and reward the incredible contributions of our dedicated volunteers at club events to keep the sport thriving.
Volunteers are at the heart of athletics on the Isle of Man. From marshalling and officiating to judging, organising events and providing general assistance, the time and effort given by our volunteers help make athletics possible for everyone.
The Altenar Volunteer Award Scheme has been introduced to recognise and reward the dedication, commitment and hard work of those who give up their time to support athletics across the Island.
How Does It Work?
Every time you volunteer at an event organised by an Isle of Man athletics club or the Isle of Man Athletics Association (IOMAA), you will earn one point towards your volunteer rewards.
Whether you are a regular volunteer or someone who helps out occasionally, every contribution counts! There are plenty of ways to get involved, including:
Marshalling at road, cross-country, and fell events.
Officiating and helping at competitions.
Helping with event organisation, registration and administration.
Assisting with the set-up and clear-up of events.
Helping at fundraising events.
Volunteer Rewards
As you accumulate points, you will reach milestones that can be exchanged for a range of Altenar x IOMAA volunteer merchandise, as a small token of our appreciation for your contribution to the sport.
The reward milestones are:
5 points: Water bottle / flask
10 points: Bobble hat
15 points: Snood
20 points: T-shirt
25 points: Jacket
50 points: Special Achievement Award
Tracking Your Points
Volunteer points will be recorded and monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that contributions are recognised across the Island. When you reach one of the reward milestones, the IOMAA Athletics Development Officer will contact you directly or liaise with your club to arrange your reward.
Get Involved!
The success of athletics on the Isle of Man relies on the fantastic people who give their time to support our athletes, clubs and events. Whether you can help at one event a year or volunteer regularly throughout the season, your contribution makes a real difference.
Every event counts, every point matters, and every volunteer is valued.
Thank you to all our volunteers for the time, enthusiasm and commitment you bring to athletics on the Isle of Man. We look forward to recognising your efforts through the Altenar Volunteer Award Scheme.
