Thank you to everyone who has volunteered. We are now full and we are not accepting any more volunteer applications.
It takes over 100 volunteers to stage the Back Roads Century, and we need you. We've already been working hard behind the scenes, and we'll need additional volunteers the day of the event. Whether you're a member of Potomac Pedalers or not, you can help. There's a variety of tasks that need staffing and the best part is that volunteers ride for free.
Do you already plan on riding? If so, there's lots of jobs that you can do, either before or after the ride; so that means you can do both. Other jobs are half-day, am or pm only, so you can still ride 50 miles. If you want to work all day, that's great too. We've got lots of spots to fill.
We are not offering free rides to spouses of volunteers. That's because our costs are incurred per person (including volunteers), not per rider. If a spouse rides for free than it would cost us the equivalent of 2 registrations.
Please do not pay for registration and then volunteer after you've registered. We are not issuing refunds if you've already paid.
Review the list of positions below and send us an e-mail with the job you're able to staff. Vacant positions are listed in red. We will process your request and match you with the available positions.
