Volunteers Needed for Grand Rapids Triathlon

[Michael D. Yoder]

Grand Rapids Triathlon Volunteers

 

Welcome!

 

My name is Melissa Hunter and I am the volunteer coordinator. I worked with many of you last year and hope you had an excellent experience. I look forward to another promising event!

 

I have listed below what areas are available, the time commitment and how many volunteers we are looking in parenthesis. I encourage you to volunteer and spread the word. Without the volunteers we would not be able to put on such an awesome event. Volunteering is a rewarding experience!!

 

Please visit: www.grandrapidstriathlon.com and click on the volunteer tab. Under the volunteer tab you will see maps of the course and volunteer locations; videos to watch and most importantly our volunteer training night on June 7^th at David D Hunting YMCA at 5:30pm.

 

If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me at: [e-mail]
