Most specifically, we will need course marshals who will be wearing high-visibility vests, assigned to a specific station on the bike or run course, and direct the athletes through the course. Each volunteer marshal will be given a card that outlines the various roles and responsibilities at each station, so there is no guess work. Many will also be assigned radios for contact with the race director, and the emergency cell phone numbers.
The KOS is a FUN event, that introduces the wonderful sport of triathlon to the youth in our community, aged 4 to 18. Please come with a smile on your face, ready to cheer every athlete through their race.
