Volunteer

Join the excitement and participate in a community tradition by volunteering for the 45th annual Kalamazoo Klassic. 

We have varying volunteer opportunities on both Friday afternoon/evening and Saturday morning. Volunteers will be notified of their assignments shortly after signing up, with final instructions sent race week. Volunteers under age 18 must have parental permission. All volunteers will be required to sign a waiver prior to volunteering.  

Volunteer registration for the 2024 Kalamazoo Klassic is now OPEN! 

For more information, or if you have a group who would like to volunteer, contact Susan Terranella at sterranella@mrcindustries.org
