2015 Tour of Kansas City this weekend - Volunteers needed!

[Brent Hugh]

The 52nd annual Tour of Kansas City is coming up this weekend, May 29-31.

With just a day until the races start, we desperately need a few more volunteers.  If you can volunteer--or know anyone who can--we would really appreciate it!

The volunteer positions we still need to fill are easy, fun, and put you right in the middle of the action of the TKC races:

 - Registration helpers (Fri evening, Sat, Sun): Assisting with race sign-ups, hand out awards

 - Course marshals (Sat, Sun): 3 hour shift watching races while you 'guard' a corner, side-road, or driveway

If you can help for 2-3 hours one day, a few hours 2-3 days, or all weekend--any way, we can really use your help. Sign up to volunteer online:
