The roles in the Organisation Committee
Within the OC, everyone has their own responsibilities. This is how they are divided:
Chair (Nijmegen or Enschede): You keep the overview and have final responsibility. You lead the meetings, direct the other OC members and are the point of contact for universities and boards. You safeguard the long-term policy and make sure the group keeps working as a team.
Vice-Chair: You are the chair in the city where the Chair is not based. You lead the local meetings there, support the OC members in that city and help the Chair carry out the policy.
Secretary: The spider in the web for all information. You manage the database with 300+ teams and 700+ volunteers. You handle the registrations and the newsletters, and make sure all documentation and minutes are perfectly in order.
Treasurer: You are in charge of the finances of this mega event. You draw up the budget, keep the accounts and arrange the subsidies. You check the spending of all departments and make sure we reach the finish in good financial health.
Commissioner of Race Enschede: You focus on the logistics of the race, the materials and the route. You arrange the permits from the municipalities and make sure the race can take place for 8,000 participants.
Commissioner of Race Nijmegen: You are responsible for the safety of 8,000 people. You direct the first aid team and the motorcyclists, manage the vehicle fleet and make sure the route booklet is correct. This is really something for you if you are practically minded and want to arrange the logistics of the start.
Commissioner of Facilities Enschede: You arrange everything on the UT campus. Think of the huge campsite for thousands of students, the showers, the meals and, of course, setting up the biggest student party in the Benelux. You make sure the conditions for 11,000 party-goers are perfect.
Commissioner of Facilities Nijmegen: Your domain is the Radboud Sports Centre. You turn it into the perfect start location for thousands of runners, including handing out the vests and managing all the materials on the Nijmegen side. You are also the contact person for the Batavierenfeest.
Commissioner of PR & Media: You are the creative mind who puts the Bata on the map. You manage the socials, create the printed materials and direct the film and photo teams. You safeguard the image and make sure the famous Bata jumper looks great every year.
Commissioner of External Relations: You are in charge of the sponsorship deals and maintain contact with companies. Whether it is money or contributions in kind (such as free sports drinks), you make sure businesses are connected to the race.
