racing grow. Penn Foundation is the beneficiary of this year’s Univest Grand Prix Cyclosportif 100K, and will

permission. An information meeting will be held during the weeks preceding the race - meeting date,
location and time to follow.

COURSE MARSHAL
Key post for Race Day! Course Marshals serve as aids to the Police and Fire Police in their control of
the racecourse. Course Marshals are needed for both the Cyclosportif on Saturday morning, and for the
Pro Race in Souderton later that day. For the Cyclosportif, Course Marshals will be positioned
throughout the 60-mile course through the Montgomery Country countryside on Saturday morning.
Course Marshals are assigned intersections on the racecourse and are provided with race timetables,
safety vests, event t-shirts, and traffic control paddles. Course Marshals help control traffic as the race
approaches, asking motorists to wait for the race to pass by, and offering suggestions on alternate
routes for the motorists to take.
COURSE MARSHAL CAPTAINS
Course Marshal Captains are Course Marshals who take responsibility for 8-10 intersections and
marshals on race day, ensuring appropriate coverage and communicating with those marshals and
race officials. This is a great way for a volunteer group leader to involve a group.
BANNER SET-UP OR CYCLOSPORTIF REGISTRATION
For the early birds… Get to the Start/Finish (Broad and Main Streets – Rt. 113) area by 5:30 a.m. on
Saturday, September 17th in Souderton and help zip-tie the banners onto the fences. You will be
finished by approximately 8:00 a.m. Feel free to come back at the end of the race at 3:00 p.m. to tear
