Sand Creek Sports needs a few good volunteers for June 16 State Championship mountain bike race

From Andy Bohlmann
Race Director, Sand Creek Sports

Sand Creek Sports needs staff for its Sunday, June 16th State Championship Cross Country race at Palmer Park. Staff will compliment existing staff and staff provided by the Pikes Peak Velo and Southern Colorado Velo clubs.

Needed on Saturday, June 15:

Two registration assistants who will hand out number to pre-registered riders and process entries for new riders at the Council Grounds Picnic area in Palmer Park 3 p.m. to about 5 p.m. (perhaps a little longer.)

Seeded Sunday, June 16th:

1. 7 a.m. to about 3-3:30 p.m. One registration assistant who will assist Chief Registrar near the start and finish area.

2. 7 a.m. to about 5 p.m.: Half day shifts are OK. Three “crossing guards” at entrance to the Council Grounds Picnic Area. Supervisor will be present. Control all rider and spectator course crossing to the start and finish area. Canopy and “gates” provided. Wear race provided orange vest.

3. 7 a.m. to about 5 p.m.: Half day shifts are OK. We need four to six on-course course marshals. Orange vest and radio provided. Course marshals are assigned a location on the race course and control/prevent non-race people, etc., from getting on the course and to ensure course markings remain in place. Supervisor in place. Also, after race is over, pick up course markings in your area.

4. 7:30 a.m. to about 5 p.m.: Need two people. Half day shifts OK. Awards staff to prepare awards for presentation on stage.

All Sunday volunteers need to be fully “equipped” for a day in the woods. We'll provide lunch from Borreillo Brothers Pizza (for full day volunteers), plus water and drinks, but volunteers will still be still “in the woods.”
