What’s a hand-raiser? Someone who raises their hand to help. Hand-raisers say yes. At races, we are constantly asking for help… hey, can you run this to the timing stage? Can you fix that tape? Set up that tent? Grab coffee for the announcers? There are a million little jobs and these folks raise their hands to make it all work.
It takes a village to put on a cyclocross race. And we have a great village of hand-raisers.
We have so many people to thank. These are folks that showed up race after race to help. Getting up at 4am to meet us at 6am to set up course. Hanging out until after dark to help tear everything down and pack our van and trailer. Helping with starts, podiums, beginner clinics, timing, registration, taking photos, posting to socials, hauling garbage, designing swag, and everything else in between.
The list below are folks that volunteered for at least 3 races (or have some other huge job). There are ONE HUNDRED more people that volunteered for one or two races. We couldn’t list them all but… Wow! What a village. A few of the folks below are paid staff. Most are volunteers. We are immensely gracious to everyone below and the one hundred others who pitched in! And there are folks I’m sure we’ve missed. (Please let us know if there’s someone who should be on this list.)
Thank You
