DC is clearing the roads for the biggest cycling event of the year, and we need your help! The DC Bike Ride is an all-levels, 20 mile ride through the city. You will see bikes of every shape and size!

Volunteers are needed to help at the Thursday and Friday Packet Pick Up, and Saturday at the Start and Finish Lines, out on the course, and at the Aid Stations.

For more information about volunteer fundraising for nonprofit groups, or to inquire about bringing your group of friends to volunteer together, please contact Karen at Volunteer@dcbikeride.com.
