Tour of California bike race seeks volunteers

The Amgen Tour of California needs volunteers for the women’s and men’s stages in Lake Tahoe on May 19.

Locally, 300 volunteers are being sought. Most of the positions consist of a course marshal – a critical role where the individual assists race staff and local law enforcement authorities along the route monitoring pedestrian traffic, road closures, and keeping spectators informed as the race progresses. There are also base area positions available like security and check-in.

No experience is required and those interested in assisting may go online for more info. Registrants must be at least 18 or be accompanied by an adult. Interested applicants can contact Mike Frye with the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority at mike@ltva.org or 775.588.5900, ext. 309.
