The Southern Ontario Amazing Race (SOAR) is an event that challenges participants physically and mentally.
Have you ever watched the Amazing Race on TV and wished you could experience first hand some of the conflicts, frustration
and excitement teams go through as they make their way through the challenges? By signing up as a volunteer, you get the chance
to catch all the action, watch the drama unfold and participate in a local event for a good cause that has raised over $250,000 for
The Children's Foundation of Guelph and Wellington.
(Check out the buzz from SOAR.)
Why should you volunteer?
It's the perfect way to have fun, meet new people and contribute to the overall success of SOAR!
- Enjoy a fun weekend
- Participate in a unique event

- Contribute to a great cause in The Children's Foundation of Guelph and Wellington
- Get recognition for your involvement - free food and t-shirt!
What we need you for:
- Challenge Marshal - SOAR needs volunteers to facililtate the events during the race. Challenges require judges, timekeepers, monitors and organizers to ensure the effectiveness and fairness of the race. Most likely, you will be a part of a challenge team of 4 to 10 people. In this role you will see teams struggling through some of the most bizarre and unique things they will ever do.
- Shuttler - SOAR needs 20 volunteers to shuttle teams between locations at a few stages in the race. Shuttle legs could be anywhere between 1 and 50 km. SOAR will compensate drivers for vehicle costs. This is a great opportunity to get right into the action of the race.
- Food Crew - SOAR need Volunteers to assist in the distribution of food to 40 racers and 100 volunteers. You would work closely with the food coordinator and the rest of the food crew. Similar to shuttling, you get to see teams as they take a break from the mayhem and reflect on the race.
