Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Newfoundland 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 @ St. John's Lions Club Chalet
Saturday, August 11, 2018 10am-3pm
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 @ St. John's Lions Club Chalet
Sunday, August 12, 2018 6am-9:30am
