About
Volunteers can help us make Big Sugar Classic one to remember! We would love to have you join our team this fall. We appreciate everyone who sets aside some hours to help make this event memorable for each rider.
By volunteering for 10+ hours, you secure a spot in the 2027 event! Friends and family can also donate their hours to help you reach the 10-hour minimum. You are still responsible for registration fees, however you do not have to worry about registration selling out in 12 minutes.
