Interested in Volunteering?

We are currently taking names for volunteers for our 5th annual event. Join our great team at Carls YMCA to help facilitate an amazing event for our local athletes. Volunteers will help on the bike & run course, at the finish line and transition area, and other areas important to ensuring a quality event.

Not only do we rely on our volunteers to present a great race, but you enable us to keep costs low for this fundraiser event that supports our Strong Kids Campaign.

As a volunteer, you will receive an event t-shirt, lunch provided by Portofino’s restaurant, and an enormous amount of gratitude from fellow athletes as well as the YMCA staff. If you are interested volunteering, please contact Jill Hancook at the Carls Family YMCA by phone at 248-685-3020 or email jhancook@ymcametrodetroit.org.
