Volunteering is Fun!

One of the critical ingredients in a successful bike race is volunteers who are needed in a variety of ways. Volunteers make it possible to conduct a safe, well-organized event. In all cases, volunteers will find their task fun and exciting. Volunteers make a valuable contribution to the success of the race and are very much appreciated. Many participants will thank you for your contribution during the race.  

Almost all of our volunteers return the following year. You'll find the atmosphere to be electric. If you volunteer we urge you to be energetic and enthusiastic, but above all, HAVE FUN!

Volunteer Registration
The various volunteer jobs are listed below - followed by descriptions to each job. If you'd like to help us out, simply click on the volunteer form  link!

Typical Jobs

Refreshments
These are the folks who assist with serving the beverages and food to participants following the event.

Parking
Volunteers are needed to park all the arriving participants in designated parking areas.

SAG Stations
During the run portion of the event, we have aid stations set up for the participants. Volunteers typically hand participants water and/or energy drinks  and food items. It's always a good idea to have one member of the SAG station crew assigned to picking up trash during the event. This will save a lot of time when the event is over.

Packet Pick-Up & Registration
Volunteers are always needed to assist our Set Up event staff at packet pick-up/registration. Prior to the event, participants must check-in. They receive their official event numbers, packet of information, t-shirts,  etc. This function takes place for two hours prior to the race.

Communications
Event organizers are always looking for radio operators with strong message handling skills. Preference will be given to FCC licensed amateur ("Ham") radio operators. If you are a licensed amateur radio operator, please include your callsign along with your name. We need radio operators at SAG stations, as SAG (Support & Gear) vehicles, motorcycle SAGs and as "Shadows" (following a key organizer or leader and coordinating his or her communications in the field). All operators should have Handie-Talkies with at least two sets of battery packs, and those assigned to aid stations may need a 12 volt battery source. A portable 2 meter and 70 cm antenna will also be helpful.
