We are in need of volunteers to put on the premier Arizona bicycle race of 2026 – the 34th Annual John Earley Memorial Valley of the Sun Stage Race, scheduled for the weekend of Feb 13 – 15. There are a number of positions available, some of which are in the days and weeks leading up to the race, and many during the race itself.   Volunteering is a great way to enjoy the team camaraderie and have fun (and we feed you!).
