With the annual set to take place at the end of the month, event organizers are calling for all the help they can get.
This year鈥檚 ride is set to take place on Aug. 24 and 25, with volunteers still needed for both days in a variety of capacities. Some roles include the following:
- Traffic & Safety Team: Responsible for managing vehicle and pedestrian traffic into and out of the opening ceremony, camp and finish lines. Being on the frontline, you will be cheering and providing encouragement for the riders.
- Sweep Teams: This team drives the route in vans or SUVs outfitted with bike racks (provided) and help riders along the route. The sweep team is also a source of encouragement with cheering, music and decorations.
- Moto Safety Team: Moto Safety works with Road Dispatch staff and local law enforcement to guarantee safe passage for Riders along each route. (Required to provide own motorcycle and helmet, a copy of your license, and proof of insurance).
- Green Team: We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact. The Green team will ensure the route, pit stops and event sites are restored to their original condition.
- Site Teams: Help the Tour de Cure team set up the event at the start line in Cloverdale, camp at Chilliwack Heritage Park or the finish line in Hope.
The Tour de Cure is the B.C.鈥檚 largest cycling fundraiser with all the funds raised going directly to powering life saving cancer research provincially. This year鈥檚 event will see riders travel 200-kilometres starting at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds on Aug. 24, riding into Chilliwack where they will camp overnight at Chilliwack Heritage Park before crossing the finish line in Hope on Aug. 25.
