This year's event will require more than 250 volunteers
willing to donate their time and energy to make each race an overwhelming
success. Volunteers will work as: race marshals, assistant judges,
team liaisons, racecourse preparation and tear-down. Each volunteer
will receive a T-shirt and fully-catered "THANK-YOU" party
on May 19th, 6pm at the Dickson Street Theatre with prizes!
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE RACE NEEDS YOU RAIN, SNOW, SLEET OR SHINE...THE
RACERS WILL BE THERE AND THEY WILL NEED OUR HELP NO MATTER THE CONDITIONS.

Race
Marshals
This is our greatest need. Corner Marshals provide safety
to both the riders and motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic along
the race route. Volunteers will be responsible for controlling intersections
throughout each day's events. Specific areas will be assigned, but
volunteers will be posted at key crossroads throughout the Friday
and Saturday road races, along the finishing stretch in Fayetteville
for Friday's road race on Dickson Street and on Sunday's criterium
course in the downtown area. Volunteer Coordinators, Dean LaGrone
- dlagrone@cox.net or Bonnie
LaGrone -
blagrone@cox.net or call 479-750-2550 with any specific questions.
Feed Zones
We need volunteers to help on both Friday and Saturday in the feed
zones. Feed Zones are areas on the course that the riders pass through
and receive hand-ups in the form of water, bananas, energy gels
and bars. This is an exciting area and one that the riders really
appreciate.
Please contact Volunteer Coordinators, Dean LaGrone - dlagrone@cox.net
or Bonnie LaGrone -
blagrone@cox.net or call 479-750-2550 with any specific questions.
Host
Families
House some or all of the race members of a pro-only race team. Hosts
provide sleeping space, use of a bathroom, and refrigerator space.
Providing food is not required, but a host family may offer to share
meals or give the riders full use of the kitchen.

Registration
We need volunteers to help with various elements of the registration
process. Volunteers are needed to help with preparation of participants'
entry packages on May 6 & 8. This will require a few hours each
evening at a central location. Finally, volunteers are needed to
help with the final registration and check-in of participants. Contact
Jeremy Pratchard - jpratch@uark.edu

Motor Marshals
Experienced motorcyclists who have motorcycles (with certain
needed characteristics). Moto Marshals will carry photographers,
video people, race officials and other key race personnel throughout
the race courses. Contact David Sager - david_sager@hotmail.com
or 479-409-4887 for more information.
Wheel Trucks
Adult-age drivers with full-size pickups trucks are needed to follow
each race group on both the Friday and Saturday road races. Wheel
trucks loaded with spare bike wheels follow the main pack of riders
and if a rider has a flat, the truck stops and allows the rider
to retrieve a spare wheel.
