Join the Action: Volunteer & Fuel the Race


We've had a chance to reflect on just how much these races mean to us all. Each race isn't just another race - it's YOUR race, an event that brings our cycling community closer together.


Our Winter Series, is only possible because of the dedication of our community members. If you haven't stepped up before, now would be an incredible time to get involved.


Volunteering provides a unique behind-the-scenes perspective of the event, allows you to bond with fellow cycling enthusiasts, and ensures that the races we all cherish remain dynamic and spirited.
