Volunteer

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is a collective of passionate individuals, moving together to create a world free of MS. The success of Bike MS depends on volunteers like you! Each volunteer’s contribution, large or small, is critical to the success of the event. Volunteers provide key support to Bike MS all year, from serving on planning committees to overall support at the event. Volunteers are the helping hands that make the event possible! When you join the Bike MS Volunteer crew, you become a part of Bike MS. Together, we will provide support, raise money, have fun, and make a difference in the lives of people living with MS.

Volunteer Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in participating as a volunteer. There are many volunteer opportunities at Bike MS; families, corporate groups and individuals are encouraged and welcome to participate. Some volunteer positions require a criminal and/or DMV background check. Below are some examples of Bike MS volunteer opportunities.

 

 

Route Volunteers

Route flaggers will be positioned near rider village and along the route to help cyclists cross intersections and navigate safety hazards. Shift times will differ based on the flagging location. Maps and all supplies will be provided and volunteers will need to provide their own transportation to the flagging location. All flaggers must be at least 18 years old.


Rest Stop

Groups of volunteers help set up and operate the rest stops along the route, located every 10-12 miles both days.

MS=Champions

Saturday | Sunday: shifts vary based on location.
What does MS= to you? If you are living with MS, you've probably asked yourself this question more than once. People living with MS are coming together to share, educate and build awareness about what MS means to them. At the Champs Tent, individuals living with MS will stop by to pick up their “MS=Champions” bandana and participants will come looking for information about the programs, services and research funded by the Greater Northwest Chapter. Along the route and as cyclists cross the finish line, Champions will be on hand to welcome and thank them for their participation. Bleachers and tents will be set up at the finish line to help welcome back our amazing cyclists. Noise makers will be provided.
