Three-Day Crew and Day Volunteers are the backbone of the Tri-State Trek. From the set-up of daily rest stops and nightly lodging to securing the arrival of gear and supplies - the efforts of our volunteers help to ensure our event runs seamlessly.
You can chose how you will support riders. See our volunteer options below.
Three-Day Crew accompany Trek riders all 270 miles. Running rest stops, setting up and breaking down overnight locations, or driving route support vehicles, crew assist in a variety of ways and make for a smooth weekend.
All food and lodging is provided. Crew can either bring their own vehicle, or carpool with another crew member that they have made arrangements with. Crew planning to bring their personal vehicle on the event should select this option at time of registration.
Positions are limited and are first filled by Crew Captains, by request, on a first-come-first served basis. Select your desired position during registration. Although it is not required to fundraise for these positions, all Crew members will receive online fundraising pages when they register for them to promote their participation and fundraise within their networks.
Three-Day Crew positions include:
Skilled and experienced bike technicians to keep all bikes rolling
Organize the setup and breakdown of our overnight venues
Fully prepare and manage lunch stops on Friday and Saturday
RN's, MD's or EMT's to keep our participants healthy and happy on the route, at rest stops, and at overnight venues

Day Volunteers assist Tri-State Trek Staff and Three-Day Crew and are needed at our larger venues:
Day Volunteers can participate for a few hours, or an entire day depending on their availability. They help with things like setup, cleanup, moving gear, preparing meals, rider check-in, etc.
