It takes a village to bring the Santos Tour Down Under to life, and we couldn't do it without our incredible volunteers 🧡 As National Volunteer Week wraps up, we're giving a massive shout out to each person who generously gives their time, energy and passion to support the event year after year. This year, we are excited to announce and celebrate our two major award winners: 🏆 Volunteer of the Year: Greet Kempenaers Greet has been an invaluable part of our volunteer family since 2019, bringing dedication and smiles to the race for over half a decade. Thank you, Greet, for everything you do! 🏆 Traffic Marshal of the Year: Debra Sutton-Smith Over the past three years, Deb has done an amazing job recruiting members from the VIEW Clubs to join us as street marshals.
