Volunteers needed to help with both racers and pedestrians during Saturday's Casco Bay Cyclocross event on the Eastern Promenade.

Cyclocross.jpg Racing starts at 10 a.m. but volunteers will meet under the main tent at 9:30 to prepare for a great day of racing. There are several volunteer shifts to be filled with the final race of the day going off at 2:45 p.m.

Working closely with lead sponsor Bikeman.com, Casco Bay Sports presents an annual grass roots cyclo-cross race on Portland's beautiful Eastern Prom.

The course and spectator area features stunning views of Casco Bay. The course weaves throughout the Eastern Prom utilizing man-made and natural obstacles, steep climbs, and unique downhills.

Casco Bay Sports & Bikeman.com are committed to the recovery of the race course each year post event. Several trail days are organized with loaming, re-seeding, and general park maintenance. Proceeds are annually donated to the Eastern Promenade associate non-profit Friends of the Eastern Promenade.
