VOLUNTEER

Course Marshals

​

Course Marshals play an integral role on race day by ensuring pedestrian safety at designated crossing areas on the course.  The race cannot occur without them! To volunteer to be a course marshal, a sign up link will be provided on this website in the near future. Check back soon for details. If you have questions about being a course marshal, please email Marty Anderson.

Host Housing

​

Interested in getting to know some of the racers and more about pro/am cycling? House some or all members of a race team! Hosts provide sleeping space, use of a bathroom, a place to lock up bikes and refrigerator space. Providing food is not required but a host family may offer to share meals or give the riders full use of the kitchen (click here for more information).
