Volunteers

Like every race, from your local club crit to the Tour de France, we rely on an army of Volunteers to help make things happen on the day.

If you, or a friend or family can help out, we would be appreciative. We know some of these jobs can be thankless but the more hands we have the easier things are.

Volunteers who do more than one session will be provided with lunch.
