Volunteer
Want to support Bellingham’s local cyclocross series and get free entry? You can easily do both! Because our volunteer shifts are short (1–3.5 hours) and scheduled around race times, you can volunteer for any role and still race that same day.
Every volunteer shift earns you 1 free race entry. Once you sign up, our Volunteer Coordinator, Ali, will email you a promo code a couple of days before race day to use at registration.
