Join us for tour weekend
There are many ways to support Courage Classic as a volunteer. Whether you welcome riders at registration, work at an aid station, or provide encouragement and more cowbell as an on-route marshal, YOU make a difference.
Most positions require a commitment for the entire weekend. We have one-day opportunities including on-course marshals and aid station crews (group opportunity).
Volunteer positions are assigned based on your qualifications and required experience. Due to the nature of the event, most volunteers must be 18 years of age. Please reach out if you have questions about volunteering as a minor. Assignments will begin in April 2025, and you will be notified via email.
All positions require personal transportation to Copper Mountain and the surrounding counties. Most volunteer jobs are not within walking distance of the Start/Finish line in Eagle’s Landing (Copper’s Center Village).
Lodging
Multi-day volunteer positions include Foundation-provided lodging. If you are assigned to a multi-day position, we will reach out in May with information to book your own lodging for the weekend. Room size, location and room type cannot be guaranteed, and is only available for assigned volunteers.
One-day positions do not include lodging, but we will have an option for you to reserve your own room at a discounted rate.
Fundraise for Kids
Fundraising is a great way to make a difference for Children’s Colorado patients and families. It’s also an easy way for your friends and family to make a donation on your behalf to support the amazing work you do.
While our volunteers are not required to fundraise, they are more than welcome to! Once you apply to be a volunteer, you will be prompted to log in to the Participant Center to start fundraising! Here are helpful tips to get started. We also encourage you to join the Courage Classic Facebook group to connect with other supporters, share fundraising tips and ideas, and fuel the Courage Classic spirit!
