Set Up Crew
06/27/2025
9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, but you get the satisfaction of building a RipRoar triathlon in one! Set-up for the event will begin the day before the triathlon, taking place from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm. Tasks will be assigned to volunteers’ day-of the set-up.
Water Safety Crew
06/28/2025
7:30 – 11:30 a.m.
Water safety staff is critical to the triathlon’s success, as it helps to ensure that swimmers are completing their race safely! Water safety volunteers include people in the water with guard tubes and volunteers stationed in kayaks/paddleboards around the perimeter of the swim. If you would like to be stationed in the water as a safety boat, and will be providing your own boat/paddle board, please email or text the volunteer coordinator.
Race Day Crew
06/28/2025
7:15 – 11:45 a.m.
Hip hooray for race day! The race day volunteer shift runs from 7:15 am – 11:45 am. Volunteers can expect to assist athletes at the start line, guiding athletes along the course, assisting with transitions between legs, and celebrating with us at the finish line! Race day volunteers also receive a free tee-shirt!
Tear Down Crew
06/28/2025
11:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Tear down for this event will begin as soon as the last athlete crosses the finish line. Tear down usually takes about 2 1/2 hours, a time estimate is from 11:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
