Volunteer at GFNY Waco 2022

Volunteering at the GFNY Waco is a fun experience, with camaraderie, goodwill and excitement. Volunteers play a key role in creating an unforgettable experience for athletes, spectators, journalists and special guests from all over the world. The event draws on the help of over 200 volunteers over four days, Jun. 23-26, 2022.

Volunteers who offer their time, energy, support and enthusiasm are a vital part of GFNY. GFNY Waco : On June, 2022, one thousand cyclists from across the USA and 90+ countries will ride on a challenging 87-mile cycling marathon in the Texas. On June 24 , 2022 the GFNY expo takes place in the Waco Convention Center: (Washington Ave, Waco, TX). More information about the event can be found at waco.gfny.com.

GFNY Athletes:  GFNY cyclists are dedicated athletes who train hard to be able to complete a challenging event like the GFNY cycling marathon. Help us welcome them to GFNY and get them all set to race.

Everyone Can Help: You can volunteer in a broad range of roles, such as registration, setup, aid stations, clean up, motorcycle marshal and more. While there are many ways you can help, they all have one thing in common: you are part of the event. No matter if you’re young, old, love cycling or know nothing about it, if you’d like to help at the expo, an aid station or the finish line – we are looking forward to seeing you! Get involved in GFNY Waco to support the athletes in their quest to the GFNY Waco finish line. Volunteer T-shirt: Every volunteer receives the official GFNY Volunteer T-shirt. The T-shirt identifies a person as an Official GFNY Volunteer. The T-shirt must be worn as the outer-most layer of your clothing - please pick the right T-shirt size! Dates and Locations:
