Huntsville/Madison County Chamber
U.S. Paralympics Cycling Time Trial
We are so excited to welcome back paracyclists from across the country to Huntsville, AL to compete! Join us as a volunteer for the 2025 U.S. Paralympics Cycling Time Trial, March 29! Paracyclists will compete in a one-day time trial as they try to make one of the coveted roster spots to represent Team USA at this spring's World Cups in Europe. Racing will begin with warm-ups at 8:00 am, and the first athlete will depart from the start house at 9:00 am. Racing will conclude by Noon.
What is a time trial? A time trial is where each athlete races individually against the clock. Cyclists will begin from a start house and each cyclist will depart in one-to-two minute intervals. Fun fact: Time trials are often referred to as the 'race of truth'.
We need ~50 volunteers for this event. Please consider volunteering!
ALL volunteers are required to do the following:
- Sign a volunteer waiver
- Watch the volunteer orientation video
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old (except anti-doping chaperones which must be at least 18 years old) and will be required to wear a red colored t-shirt of their own during their shift. If you have someone younger who would like to join you, such as a child, you’re welcome to bring them to cheer on the racers and they can sit near you as a fan.
Please arrive for your shift at least 30 minutes in advance of the shift. Some of your specific assignments may require you to travel by foot a short distance to your assigned position.
If you are signing up as a duo or group, we cannot guarantee that you will be placed as a group due to volunteer needs, but we will do everything we can to place you in close proximity to one another (next to, across the street from each other, etc). Also note that any volunteer position that has regular or active engagement with athletes could require additional screening.
If you have volunteered with us before you will notice that we are using a different system for volunteer sign-ups this year. Additionally, we have divided the course in CRP West into quadrants with volunteers being divided among one of four locations to park and access their part of the course. We will email all volunteers with their individual course placement with corresponding map, once the position is full or no later than the Monday before the race. We believe these changes will better serve our volunteers. Please make special note of your location details once you receive them.
We ask for your patience as we navigate this new system. We think it will be easier for volunteers in advance and on the day of the event. We also believe that it is the right system to lead us into our 2026 Paracycling World Championship as well.
All contact information must be completed during your sign-up.
