Volunteers Are Needed For Many Roles Before, During, and After the Classic

Here you’ll find most of the information needed to be a great volunteer at the Classic! Year by year, instructions might change a little, so it’s best to refer to any communications you get specifically. But, if you’re curious what helping out with the Classic might entail, this is a great place to start!

Check In

• If volunteering on event day, please check in at the Volunteer table at Como Lakeside Pavilion OR your rest stop post noted on the volunteer registration confirmation you received.

• We will get you checked off the list, get your t-shirt, and send you to your assigned position for the day.

Parking

• If possible we encourage all volunteers to bike to the event and to their volunteer posts!
• For those driving to the event, the north lot at Como will be available.
• Street parking is available in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Talking Points and Volunteer Code of Conduct

• Please respect others when you’re volunteering for the Classic.
• If a rider has a question you can’t answer or is giving you a hard time, please remind them that you’re a volunteer and direct them to your shift manager who can answer any questions they have or address their concerns.
• Make sure to take care of yourself during your volunteer shift. We want you to have such a great time you’ll volunteer again next year! Stay hydrated, have a snack, and take a breather when you need it. Your shift manager is your ally!
• Thank you, thank you, thank you! Without you, we wouldn’t be able to make the Saint Paul Classic happen. Pat yourself and other volunteers on the back for a job well done!

Weather

• Rain or Shine!

• Please check the weather and dress accordingly.

Wayfinders Wanted!

• We can always use a few more folks to help riders navigate the course. These spots are ideal for two people per spot. Besides the perks listed above, there may be additional compensation available. Use the contact form to email us about your interest.

Free Ride

• All volunteers are entitled to a free ride on the Classic if doing so doesn’t overlap your shift. Once you have signed up you will receive a promo code that unlocks the free volunteer registration option!

Party!!!

• One way we like to say thanks is with a volunteer party a couple of weeks after the Classic.

• You’ll receive more information about the party via email.
