Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Alberta Cycle for Sight! There are a number of volunteer roles available on event day; please take a moment to review the roles before completing our survey.
Volunteer roles include:
Route Marking
Friday, September 9th, 2016
This volunteer role is incredibly important to the success of Cycle for Sight. You ensure the route is clear to our cyclists so that they stay on the right path and arrive safely at the finish line. To complete this role you will need your own vehicle, or a partner with a vehicle. Each vehicle will need two volunteers, a driver and a route marker. Route marking volunteers will need to be available for approximately 4-5 hours during the day before Cycle for Sight.
Route Checking
Saturday, September 10th, 2016 7am-9am
Volunteers will have put route signs up on Friday September 9. The route checker is responsible for ensuring that the route markers are still up and have not been tampered with (ie. Arrows direction switched, missing signs, etc) and that the route is clear for the cyclists.
Kick-off
Saturday, September 10th, 2016 6:30-9:30am
Come ready to cheer on our cyclists as they depart on their ride. We need your help to send our riders off in style. Kick-off volunteers will need to be available between 6:30am-9:30am on event day.
On Route support
Saturday, September 10th, 2016 a minimum of 4 hours between 8:30am-2:30pm
Route support volunteers ensure our cyclists safety during their ride. There are a variety of support roles along the route.
· Support vehicles
· Course marshals
· Bike mechanics
Ride Guides
Saturday, September 10th, 2016
Ride Guides are experienced riders who provide guidance and support for our riders as well as help in an emergency situation. Guides are assigned a specific pace that they maintain throughout the ride. If you are an experienced group event cyclist and are interested in helping our riders, please register to volunteer as a guide.
Finish line
Saturday, September 10th, 2016 9:30am-2:30pm
We need volunteers to cheer on our wonderful cyclists as they return from their ride!
We will also need support in the following areas:
· Serving drinks, must be certified to serve alcohol in Alberta

· Teardown/clean-up
All our volunteers will receive the training they need and a snazzy T-shirt.
Without you Cycle for Sight would not be possible!
