Volunteers Needed for IU Health Momentum Indy Bicycle Festival

Organizers of one of the nation’s biggest cycling weekends, IU Health Momentum Indy, need volunteers to help put on the Aug. 27-28 event in downtown Indianapolis.

Built around two cycling events that draw pro and amateur racers from across the U.S. — Saturday evening’s Mass Ave Crit presented by First Internet Bank and Sunday’s Indy Crit — the weekend offers activities for everyone, from families who enjoy active community events to professional cyclists competing for $35,000 in prize money. It also includes a free community ride, the Honor Major Taylor Ride presented by Zipp that’s open to people of all ages, as well as a leisurely 4-mile Mini Major Taylor Ride presented by PNC for families.

Volunteer roles throughout the weekend include the following:

• Course marshals on the crit routes
• Podium assistants
• Racer staging
• Helpers in the Riley Children’s Health Kids Zone presented by PNC and Meijer
• Set up and tear down

Volunteers will receive a T-shirt, refreshments and free parking.
