Race for Free! Volunteer and Race!
Important – Please Read!
The KHMTT has an exceptional safety record, thanks to our dedicated volunteers and supporters who assist racers, monitor motor vehicles, and direct traffic. We offer a variety of positions and the COBRAS will provide training and equipment for your success. (Race marshals must be at least 16 years old.)
There are three ways to participate:
- Race free of charge in exchange for volunteer hours (“Race for Free”).
- Work for a monetary stipend (“Paid”).
- Volunteer without compensation.
If you choose to Race for Free:
- When you receive your assignment you will receive a special link for volunteers to register for the KHMTT by email.
- Please do not use the registration link on our website.
- You’ll have the flexibility to choose your start time based on your shift and position.
- You can also volunteer and let someone else race for free!
- When you register, use the USAC number of the person who will be racing.
If you choose to be Paid:
- The compensation rate is $25 per shift worked.
- Checks will be mailed after the completion of the entire series.
- COBRAS members and Bicycle Colorado employees are not eligible.
Race Day Parking:
- Non-racing volunteers will receive a complimentary entrance pass via email each week you are scheduled to work.
- Racers will need to either pay the daily entrance fee or purchase a Colorado Annual Park Pass.
Shift Selection:
- Two shifts are available and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
- We will do our best to accommodate all requests, but we cannot guarantee all will be met.
First Shift:
- Check-in with the onsite Volunteer Coordinator at 4:00 p.m.
- Be stationed at your position by 4:20 p.m.
- Remain at your position until 5:40 p.m. when the second shift replacement arrives.
- You’ll be assigned a start time between 6:15 and 6:30 p.m.
- Do not leave your position until your replacement arrives! If your replacement is late, you may radio the Volunteer Coordinator for a replacement.
Second Shift:
- Check-in with the onsite Volunteer Coordinator at 5:20 p.m.
- Be stationed at your position by 5:40 p.m.
- You’ll be assigned a start time between 4:30 and 4:40 p.m.
- Remain in your position until the USAC moto drives past your position at approximately 6:45 p.m. to inform you that the last racer has passed.
Note: Please be prompt (or early) so your first-shift counterpart has enough time to change, warm up, and prepare for their race!
Safety Procedures:
- Safety is a top priority for the COBRAS and KHMTT.
- All applicants must read our Position Description and Duties documentation, which can be downloaded or viewed online.
- All applicants will be required to take a short quiz to ensure an understanding of duties and responsibilities.
After submitting your application the volunteer coordinator will approve your application and assign you a shift and position.
You will then receive an email with your position and shift assignment. Please check your spam folder if you don’t receive an email within a few days.
All volunteers and supporting racers will be invited to our volunteer appreciation dinner after the final race.
