VOLUNTEERS / go to top Volunteers are the key to a successful race. There are many tasks involved in running a triathlon and we are looking for people who are willing to assist. Without volunteers there is no way for this race to happen and its success will be because of the volunteer. If you live in the area or will be coming with a participant and would like to help we would like to hear from you. All volunteers will receive a race t-shirt and enjoy the free food and fellowship. Come be a part of the 4rth annual TRI4GOD Sprint Triathlon and help us make this the best race ever!!!
