It takes over 200 people to make the river roar each year, and there is a role to suit every skillset and ability. A list of roles and descriptions is here.

Photography & Media
Photographer spots in the river’s centre exclusion zone are limited for safety reasons – allocation of these spots is now closed for 2026.
Keen to snap the action without official accreditation? Head to the Gladstone Park Rd Spectator Area — the river narrows here, giving you a safe but close-up view from the river banks.
Tag us on socials if you capture a great shot — we love sharing fan photos!
