Volunteers are the backbone of Calgary’s cycling events, ensuring races run smoothly while fostering a strong sense of community. At BikeRacing.ca, we encourage everyone—cyclists and non-cyclists alike—to get involved in volunteering for bike races. Whether you’re looking to support the legendary Wednesday Night Series (WNS) or other local events, volunteering is a rewarding way to contribute to Calgary’s vibrant cycling scene.
Volunteering at bike races offers numerous benefits:
The Calgary Crankmasters Cycling Club offers several opportunities to volunteer during their events, including the Wednesday Night Series (WNS) and Stampede Road Race Rodeo. Volunteering is an essential part of the club’s operations and helps build a supportive cycling community.
The WNS is Calgary’s longest-running mid-week road race series, featuring time trials, hill climbs, criteriums, and more. Volunteers play a crucial role in ensuring these events run smoothly. Each WNS race counts as 1 volunteer credit toward fulfilling Crankmasters’ annual requirement.
Marshals, timekeepers, registration assistants, cornering support.
Evening shifts lasting approximately 2–4 hours.
Marshaling, course setup/cleanup, timing assistance.
Other benefits like bonus points toward club awards or recognition at club events.
