Welcome to the Bike MS: Bike to Jack and Back Motorcycle Marshal Program!

Note: Shift times may vary based on ride start and end times.

Thank you for your commitment and dedication to Bike MS. As you prepare for your role, we want to clarify some important guidelines to ensure the safety and smooth operation of our event. 

The Bike MS: Bike to Jack and Back Motorcycle Marshals play a critical role in the safety and success of the event.  The primary mission of the Motorcycle Marshals is monitoring the welfare of bicycle riders along the route, rendering aid to riders in distress, and alerting Net Control of more serious cases.  Additionally, Motorcycle Marshals provide communications, alert Net Control about accidents or other hazards on the route, and other duties as needed. Many MotorcycleMarshals help bicycle riders change flat tires and other minor bicycle repairs. 

Motorcycle marshals are not permitted to direct traffic under any circumstances. Adhering to these guidelines is essential, and your careful attention to this matter is greatly appreciated, as it helps ensure everything runs smoothly and according to the necessary guidelines. 

The National MS Society will require all motorcycle volunteers to submita copy of vehicle insurance and a copy of their operator's driver license. 

Motorcycle Marshals must be at least 25 years old, have a valid driver’s license with a motorcycle endorsement, and proof insurance covering the motorcycle to be ridden the weekend of the event. Motorcycle Marshals often ride at low speeds (15-20 mph) in close proximity to bicycles, so good motorcycle handling skills at these speeds are essential.  

Motorcycle Marshals are required to wear DOT-approved helmets and jackets. Motorcycles ride in close proximity to bicycles, so no trailers are towed behind them.

Your role is an important part in ensuring a smooth and safe experience for everyone involved. We’re thankful for your cooperation and for your attention to these guidelines. Thank you for your continued commitment and for playing such an important part in making Bike MS a great event!
