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

The Saint Paul Classic Bike Tour is a fundraiser for Friends of Saint Paul and Ramsey County Parks and Trails, Saint Paul’s largest parks advocacy nonprofit.

• 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.

Free Ride

• All volunteers are entitled to a free ride on the Classic if doing so doesn’t overlap your shift.

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.
