To ensure a well-organized and safe event, volunteers who fill the rolls of course pre-sweeps, wave leaders, and course post-sweeps have a mandatory training on TBD at the Boat House in Busse Woods.
All volunteers will be invited to a Zoom meeting on TBD to discuss final details and ask any questions that come to mind.
All volunteers who complete their volunteer responsibilities can ride in one of the Regular Waves for FREE! All volunteers will enjoy all of the amenities of a paid participant! Questions about volunteer roles should be sent to Kim Moody at moody-k@comcast.net.
