Be a part of Summit County’s premier mountain bike event! The 11th annual Firecracker 50 is July Fourth, kicking off the town of Breckenridge parade on Main Street. The race will feature 750 riders and teams competing over two 25-mile laps in and around Breck. Volunteers are needed in the evenings of the three days leading up to the race, as well as throughout the day on July Fourth, and tear down/clean up on the 5th. We’ll need help preparing and staffing the on-course aid stations, general set up, rider registration, finish line timing and post race cleanup. We will again be striving to make the race a zero-waste event, so volunteers will also be needed to handle the recycling/compost stations at Carter Park on race day. All volunteers will receive an event T-shirt and bike socks and food and drinks are provided for all shifts. Summit school students can earn volunteer hours for next year!
