It’s time to register for Ironman volunteer positions!
In particular, they are looking for Volunteer Captains for Lifeguards, Run Pointers, Bike Pointing, and Aid Stations. These are “super volunteer” positions that coordinate groups of volunteers. TVCC’ers like to volunteer for the water safety positions, but several have also supported the run, bike, and finish line in the past.
Two Ironman races this year: May 20th and Sep 30th
Volunteer Registration can be found at this link: http://ironman.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/…
TVCC earns “volunteer” credits toward a Volunteerism Grant from Ironman Foundation. In 2017 that amounted to $2,375! We used the funds to improve Winter Roll Practice, the Summer Whitewater Training Program, and add additional ACA training scholarships. When you help Ironman — you help TVCC!
