Volunteering for Gran Fondo New York is a fun experience, with camaraderie, goodwill and excitement. Volunteers play a key role in creating an unforgettable Gran Fondo New York experience for athletes, spectators, journalists and special guests from all over the world. The event will draw on the help of 3000 volunteers over three days, May 18-20, 2012, in New York City, Bergen County in NJ, Rockland County in NY and Bear Mountain State Park in NY. Volunteers who offer their time, energy, support and enthusiasm are a vital part of GFNY. Gran Fondo New York: On May 20, 2012, six thousand cyclists from across the USA and 60+ countries will ride on a challenging 100 mile course from New York City to Bear Mountain and back. You can think of it as a marathon on bicycles. On May 18-19, 2012 the GFNY two-day expo takes place in midtown Manhattan. More information about the event can be found at www.granfondony.com. GFNY Athletes: The cyclists competing in the event are taking on a big challenge. Many are coming from abroad and may be in New York for the first time. All athletes prepare for many hours each week in the months leading up to the event and train very hard to be able to complete in a challenging event like Gran Fondo New York.  Everyone Can Help: You can volunteer in a broad range of roles, such as registration, setup, food station, clean up, medical, motorcycle marshal and more. While there are many ways you can help, they all have one thing in common: you are part of the event. No matter if you’re young, old, love cycling or know nothing about it, if you’d like to work at the expo, an aid station or the finish line
