VOLUNTEERS
Volunteer Registration Is Closed
This year marks the 19th anniversary of the Fat Tire Classic benefiting the National Sports Center for the Disabled and the American Red Cross Mile High Chapter. The event is scheduled for July 16-18, 2010 at Winter Park Resort. This popular pledge event offers mountain bike and hiking enthusiasts the unique opportunity to enjoy the mountains of Winter Park while making an important contribution to two very important charities in Colorado. The Fat Tire Classic benefiting the National Sports Center for the Disabled and the American Red Cross Mile High Chapter is the most anticipated event of the summer.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the dedication of our volunteers. Thank you to all those that have signed up! We look forward to seeing you in Winter Park!
