Thanks for your interest in volunteering at the Coast to Coast on the May 12 weekend, 2018)! We are grateful that you’re considering or committing to a fairly lengthy volunteer commitment. We really need you! There are major bike conflicts on all the surrounding weekends so Mother’s Day weekend it is and we’ll try to get volunteers and racers home Saturday night. Volunteers receive $35-$100 off a future Michigan Adventure Racing event for themselves or an immediate family member and some “swag” to be determined. Those driving a substantial distance (e.g., sweeper wagon) can request mileage reimbursement as well.
Checkpoint roles are not full-day shifts. Riders will all come through and you are done (or follow us to Ludington if you want to volunteer at the exciting finish!). Roles and shifts include the following. See the BikeReg sign up page for specific times:
- Friday night (May 11) check-in, Big Bend Campground, Standish
- Traffic control at start near Big Bend Campground
- Checkpoint 1 sign-in, Gladwin
- Checkpoint 2 sign-in, Marion
- Checkpoint 3 sign-in, Dublin
- Sweeper wagon (close down each checkpoint)
- Traffic control, food, medical at Stearns Beach Finish, Ludington (2-9 pm or 8 pm – 3:30 am Sunday, can be done in different shifts)
- Awards, post-race at Greystone Convention Center, Holiday Inn, Ludington (6 pm until midnight Saturday?)
