The ninth edition of the Moka Trail will be held on Saturday 2 October 2021. And once again this year, we are looking for volunteers to ensure the smooth running of the event. Do you want to join a great human adventure even if you are not a great athlete? We would love to welcome you on board our team of volunteers!

Since 2013, the Moka Trail has attracted a large number of trail running enthusiasts and thrill-seekers in the middle of nature for a unique experience. This renowned sporting event hosted by Moka Smart City allows participants to push their limits while enjoying the beauty of the island’s untamed landscapes.

Due to the health crisis, the 2021 Moka Trail will offer a revisited version featuring its two flagship races. Between mountains, forests and sugarcane fields, the two courses – the 14km Petit Both and 28km Grand Pouce – promise to test the endurance of participants. Moreover, the event will be open to a maximum of 500 participants (starting in groups of 50 runners) in order to limit interaction for everyone’s safety.

Join the Moka Trail volunteers!

Several volunteers join the Moka Trail every year and work behind the scenes to ensure the smooth running of the event. They are really at the heart of it all on race day! Volunteers assist with various tasks, such as marking race numbers, managing feed stations, handing out medals and more.

As well as a first-hand experience of the Moka Trail, this major sporting event also gives volunteers the opportunity to socialise in a warm and friendly atmosphere. “It was a real challenge for me because I am not a very adventurous person. I simply can’t describe in words the feeling of providing participants with refreshments after they tackled the 287 steps at Malenga! We cheered on the runners of all ages and enjoyed the beauty of selfless human relationships. The Moka Trail ultimately turned out to be a great experience for me, and allowed me to make friends and enjoy the beautiful scenery,” says Nazira, a volunteer on the eighth edition last year.

So if you want to be close to your near and dear ones taking part in the race, meet other enthusiasts and/or join in a unique experience, don’t wait any longer! You have until 20 September to register and help us as a volunteer on 2 October.

To register, fill out the form here. After registration as a volunteer, you will be provided with information on what is planned for the day and how the different tasks will be assigned to the teams.
