The 29th Annual Hale‘iwa Metric Century, one of HBL’s big signature rides and important fundraiser, is coming up on April 24th, 2022! Whether you’re already registered to ride, don’t consider yourself a cyclist, or have a family member, friend, coworker, etc. who is supporting you – there is sure to be a volunteer position that YOU can help with!
Spend a lovely time on the beautiful North Shore helping on the day of the event (Sunday) or help get things ready (in town) ahead of the big ride.. Any volunteer task big or small that you or your friends, family, supporters could help with, makes an incredible impact in ensuring this event is safe, fun, and enjoyable for all!
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for volunteering.
