Pocomoke Triathlon

Assist race staff with athlete check-in. You will be part of a team that checks the registration roster, photo ID's and USAT licenses. You will be asked to check the temperature of each athlete and volunteer as they check in (using a temporal thermometer). This task will include both sitting and standing. Masks and gloves will be provided to you, unless you prefer to wear/bring your own PPE supplies.

The primary responsibility of this task is to ensure that all athletes stay on the race course. You will provide direction and indicate upcoming turnarounds as needed. You will keep an eye on driveways to make sure the athletes stay safe. This task is performed standing and may require some walking. You will also be required to wear a mask during your shift. If you do not have a face mask, or forget yours, we will provide you with a disposable mask.

When you assume your position at the aid station location, you will verify that your station is stocked with proper equipment and supplies. Those supplies will include plastic water bottles and Gatorade, and individually packaged Clif Bars. Athletes will know in advance that the aid station is a 'self-serve' option in order to adhere to CDC guidelines. As a volunteer at this station, we do ask that you assist with trash collection. Masks and gloves will be provided for your safety.

You will assist the race management team by handing out medals to finishing athletes. You will also help retrieve timing straps from athletes as they complete the race. You may be asked to assist with recording bib numbers as a back up to our electronic timing system.

Your task for this assignment is to assist our youth athletes in staying on course during the event. Their course is different from our adult event that takes place simultaneously.

You WILL need your OWN kayak/SUP, and please bring a life vest.
