San Francisco, CA (July 30, 2001) - The San Francisco Grand Prix 2001 presented by BMC Software needs hundreds of volunteers on Sunday September 9, 2001. Come out and be a part of the team that will bring triple-time Tour de France winner, Lance Armstrong, his U.S. Postal Service team and an international field of over 120 of the world’s best professional cyclists to the streets of San Francisco for the ultimate test of man and machine.
Volunteers work side by side with Volunteer Chairman, Chris Spaeth of Threshold Sports, coordinating all aspects of the volunteer efforts. “It’s a great chance for families to come out together and get involved. Once they do, they will never let a year pass without participating.” With hopes of making the San Francisco Grand Prix a yearly event, Spaeth is looking forward to working with the many volunteers who are essential to making this race a success in San Francisco.
Volunteering opportunities include, but are not limited to, marshaling, security and hospitality. Marshals are located throughout the course, in prime viewing areas, to help make the race safe for spectators and competitors. Security volunteers are placed in positions to protect race equipment and check credentials to restricted areas. Volunteers are also needed to help work in hospitality areas throughout the course
