The Halfords Tour Series is recruiting volunteers ahead of the eight-date summer race roadshow.
Kicking off on Tuesday May 24, races take place every Tuesday and Thursday throughout May and June, with events in Durham, Aberystwyth, Peterborough, Colchester, Stoke-on-Trent, Oldham, Woking and Canary Wharf.
Volunteers will be needed from approximately 1.00pm at each venue to fulfill a variety of roles, namely marshalling the circuit at crossing points and other strategic locations.
To apply, e-mail [email protected] stating the venue(s) at which you wish to volunteer, as well as your full name and a contact telephone number, putting the name of the venue at which you wish to volunteer in the subject line of the e-mail.
Each volunteer will receive a goody bag from the race organisers, while this year’s ‘star volunteer’ will enjoy VIP treatment at the Tour of Britain in September.
“I’d like to thank everyone who volunteers to be a part of this year’s Halfords Tour Series,” said series director Mick Bennett.
“Volunteers are an integral part of cycling in this country and, without people giving up their time to assist in the running of events, there would not be such a diverse range of cycling events.
“I’d like to think that everyone who volunteers with the Halfords Tour Series goes away proud of what they’ve been a part of, for volunteering allows members of the public to get close to the action and say they were an important part of the Halfords Tour Series.”
