Grand River Shootout

07/22/2026

📣📣 Calling bike enthusiasts, community members, and anyone that likes to boss people around. We are in need of volunteers to help the Grand River Shootout be safe! Course marshals get a front row seat to all the racing action and help keep spectators and racers safe… plus you’ll get a boxed lunch from CoreLife Eatery! Sign up to come out and support these community events as racers from across the state and the Midwest to race the streets of East Grand Rapids and Ionia!

Whatever your skills, we have a role for you – whether you are committed to helping events go smoothly, you enjoy connecting with others, or love putting your hosting skills to use! With your help, the Grand River Shootout is fun and safe for our communities and visitors.
