It takes a dedicated and enthusiastic team of volunteers to make this legendary rally happen. If you love cars, rallying or exploring our beautiful province with other great people, we’d love to have you join our team for this motorsport adventure.

Targa 2025 will take place September 11-18, 2025. We are well into the planning stages and we are firming up our list of prospective volunteers in order to arrange training and assign positions for the upcoming event.

Volunteers must be available for training (dates TBD) either in person (in St. John’s, NL) or remotely online (for those not in the geographic area). These training sessions will provide an overview of Targa, its operations, and your specific role. After the classroom training, you will participate in rehearsals to practice your responsibilities alongside other Targa team members.

What to expect as a Targa volunteer

You’ll meet lots of other likeminded people – both competitors and volunteers – and see dozens of scenic places in Newfoundland.

During the event, you and the other volunteers will spend six days on the road, traveling throughout eastern and central Newfoundland helping set up, tear down and run the closed stages. Accommodations will be provided along with a food allowance and gas allowance (if using your own vehicle). Travel to and from the start and end of the event will be at your own expense.

Join the Targa Newfoundland team as a volunteer and play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of our stages. You do not need any experience in motorsports but let us know if you do or about any other experiences that may be useful for the event. 

Here’s a glimpse of the responsibilities for each position: 

Set-Up/ Take Down:

• Coordinate with Stage Coordinator before the event.
• Arrive at least 2 hours before road closure.
• Distribute volunteer gear and collect waivers.
• Ensure all necessary taping and barricades are in place.
• Act as a radio checkpoint and perform other assigned duties.
• Once road is open, remove tape and ensure the stage is returned to its original (or better) condition post-event.

Start Line:

• Stage Commander: Check stage access passes and release cars on time.
• Recorder: Set up signage and log car numbers and departure times.
• Net Controller: Coordinate volunteers and notify Clerk of Course of stage readiness.
