Organizers for the Tour de BeltLine bike race are looking for volunteers willing to help with various portions of the June 13 race.

According to the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition, volunteers are needed to set up tents, tables, and refreshments; help register and check-in riders; BeltLine tour guides; route drivers; rest stop crew; break down crew, and more. Specialist volunteers who are seasoned bicycle riders are asked to volunteer as “Guardian Angels” to provide assistance to riders.

Volunteers will likely be able to participate in the race once their volunteer work is finished, and all race day volunteers will earn a t-shirt, lunch, snacks, and beer. Volunteers can work as many jobs as they want as long as the jobs don’t cause scheduling conflicts. Volunteer registration can be done on the coalition’s website.

The Tour de BeltLine will feature three routes: a family ride (Approx. 5 miles), Guided Tour (Approx. 20 miles), and a ‘Le Grand Tour’ Ride (Approx. 40 miles.) The first 500 who register will get a spiffy Tour de BeltLine Cycling cap, provided by Primal Cycling Wear. The ride is tentatively scheduled to depart from Grant Park and will be capped at 1,000 people, the coalition says.

This is a fundraiser ride for the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition, and 10% of proceeds go to the Atlanta BeltLine Partnership.
