VIP - Volunteer Incentive Program

The volunteer incentive program has been introduced to help recognise the efforts of volunteers at events, particularly those who are also competitors in adventure races. The program allows volunteers to obtain points for each event that they assist with. These points can be used to enter other Geocentric Events for free.

How the Points Work

For each event that you volunteer at, you will obtain VIP points. Longer events and events in more remote areas attract more points. If you volunteer for more that one race your points accumulate. Geocentric will keep a track of how many points you have accumulated. Contact admin@geocentricoutdoors.com.au if you have a query on how many you have.

Once you have accumulated enough points, you are able to use these to enter an event for free. The shorter events require less points while the longer events require more. To enter an event, use the existing entry form, but in the comments section, make a note that you wish to use your points to enter. Your individual portion of the team fee will be deducted from the entry.

A table below outlines how the points for each event works.

For Example: John volunteers to assist at Mountain Desgins GeoQuest. He obtains 100 VIP points for this. He may now choose to use all of these points to obtain a free entry into Hells Bells. Alternately he may choose to enter both the City Raid and Bribie Multisport and still have 10 points left over to contribute to another event. Finally he may be planning on entering Mountain Designs GeoQuest in the following year, so will volunteer at several other races in order to claim his free entry.

Conditions

In order to keep the system as fair and simple as possible, there are some conditions that apply to obtaining and spending VIP points. These are strict - so if the points are important to you, make sure you understand what the conditions are.
