Volunteer

Want to be a part of the fun?  Get started by filling out your volunteer profile below! We will post needs for volunteers as events come up.

Here is an idea of what you might be doing at the events:

Stage 6 Volunteers working the Farmer's Market

Golden Farmer’s Market

Come and help out at our Golden Stage 6 tent at this great community gathering that happens every Saturday until October.  Volunteers will provide race information, share information on local Golden race events and sell Golden Stage 6 USA Pro Cycling Challenge merchandise. Two available time slots, 8 to 10:45 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., provide flexibility for you. Come and work the tent for a couple of hours and then do your shopping before you head on home with lots of fresh veggies, meats, flowers, and other goodies! If you would like to volunteer for the entire event, please sign up for both time slots.

Woody’s Cruiser Ride Description

Woody’s Wood-Fired Pizza hosts monthly cruiser rides on the last Tuesday of the month from April to October. This is a great local event where Golden locals come to show off their cruiser bikes and ride through beautiful downtown Golden in the cool summer evening breezes.  Plus there’s always a theme to make the event even more interesting.  On July 31st, there is an extra special “Cruiser Paradium” with cool trophies for best costume, coolest cruiser and best classic cruiser!  There will be great eats provided by Table Mountain Inn, great beer provided by New Belgium, and live music by great local musicians!

Woody’s is generously donating the beer sales proceeds from the cruiser rides to Golden’s Stage 6 of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge!

Several volunteer activities are available for this event.  Volunteers will watch the alcohol barriers at the entrance and back gate of the event, and will work the Golden USA Pro Cycling Challenge merchandise tent during the event. Volunteers should be at least 21 years old.  So come on out, volunteer for a couple of hours, and then watch the costume cruiser ride, kick back with friends and enjoy the music, food and beer. The event starts and ends at Woody’s Wood-Fired Pizza, 1305 Washington Ave. in downtown Golden.
