FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

02S Call for Volunteers

August is just around the corner, which means last minute logistics are underway for the Marquette General 2013 Ore to Shore Mountain Bike Epic to be held on Saturday, August 10.  Last year’s race was a huge success, thanks in part to all of the volunteers who so generously gave their time and talents to a wonderful community event.  One sentiment that has been consistent throughout the race’s history is the volunteer support we receive.  From day one, our bikers have been thrilled with the volunteers throughout the course, the spirit and excitement that they’ve shown, and the commitments they’ve seen come from this community.

Help us to continue this tradition of outstanding community involvement. Volunteers are needed for every aspect of the race, from registration the night before to the awards ceremony immediately following.

• Friday Night Registration from 6-9 pm at Lakeview Arena

• Saturday Morning Bag Drop Team 7-11 pm at both start lines

• Saturday Start Line at Lakeview School from 7 am -9 am

• Saturday Start Line at Lakeview Arena for the Shore Rock from 7 am -9 am

• Saturday Finish Line (t-shirts sales and race results) at Lakeview Arena from 8-11 am, 11-2 pm, and 2-6 pm.
