Volunteers Needed for the Princeton Tour de Cure and Step Out Walk at Novo Nordisk

The American Diabetes Association is looking for volunteers to support the Princeton Tour de Cure® and Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes®, happening on June 14 at the Novo Nordisk campus in Plainsboro.

Individuals and teams are helping raise funds for the nearly 30 million Americans with diabetes through the Tour de Cure and Step Out Walk. Cyclists from around the region will gather at one of four routes while walkers will enjoy a one or three mile course around the scenic Novo Nordisk campus. The Tour de Cure cycling routes are designed for riders of all levels, from a 10-mile family ride to the 100-mile century ride.

Volunteers assignments:

· Check-In Area - Welcomes the riders, helps check them in and get them out on the route.

· Food/Water Areas - Make sure riders are fueled properly with breakfast, lunch and lots of water!

· Safety & Security - Help riders get on their way quickly and easily by helping with areas such as car and bike parking.

· SAG (Support And Gear vehicles) - Drive the route to look for any riders needing assistance. Helps riders with mechanical problems and transports tired riders to the finish if necessary.

· Motorcycle Escort - Monitors route activity, cruises the course looking for any riders needing assistance, and tracks the first and last riders on the course.

· Rest Stop - Serves refreshments and offers support, encouragement and lots of cheering!
