The Tour of Utah seeks volunteers to perform the various roles needed to make the race run smoothly, and registration for those roles is now open.
The volunteer application is available online at tourofutah.com. Check the website for details on the positions as well. More than 1,200 volunteer positions are needed for a variety of roles and locations during the Tour of utah in August.
According to a press release submitted by the Tour of Utah: “Individuals, as well as service groups and clubs, are encouraged to provide their time and expertise for one or multiple days during race week. Volunteers will not only receive the personal satisfactions of helping make this internationally-sanctioned stage race a success, but they will also gain a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective into what it takes to put on a major sporting event.”
The volunteer registration application is on the website, but host cities will also recruit, train and schedule local volunteers as needed for those cities’ specific stage. According to the press release, the greatest need is for course marshals. Applicants are required to sign a waiver with each host city’s Local Organizing Committee. Age restrictions vary depending on the location.
The Tour of Utah expanded to seven days this year for the first time in its 10-year history. It takes place Aug. 4-10 and will start in Cedar City and conclude in Park City. Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele County is one of this year’s host venues. According to the press release, each host city encourages fans to volunteer for one or more days.
