Become A Volunteer
The Fireflies of the Mountain
Every legend needs its watchful spirits. At Bucovina Ultra Rocks by UTMB, they are the volunteers who line the ridges, stir the soup pots, light the lamps and guide each runner home. Students and retirees, engineers and artists, locals who know every spruce by name, travelers who heard the mountain whisper once and never forgot: all of them keep the same bridge. They are the first smile at dawn and the last voice at night. Meet one on the trail, and you have met Bucovina itself.
Ready to light the way?
Volunteering here means being present when it matters. You stand beside people in effort, doubt and quiet strength. You learn to notice the small signs and the needs nobody says aloud, and responsibility turns into care: for the runner, for the mountain, for the team around you. A cup of water, a look, a few words can carry real weight. You gain experience, and something deeper: an understanding of people, of shared effort, of trust built over long hours. You leave more aware, more grounded, more human.
