Rolf Prima Tri at the Grove - Volunteer

Thank you for volunteering to help us put on the Rolf Prima Tri at the Grove on Saturday, July 28th, 2012. This event would not be possible without your assistance and commitment! Thank you!

Volunteer check-in will open at Lakeside Park (near the boat ramp), Cottage Grove Lake (map) at 5:30 a.m. Below you will find detailed additional information on the event and a listing of volunteer positions and shifts. Some of the positions have short shift periods and will allow you time to work another shift in another facet of the race if you wish. If you have any questions about positions or shifts, or about the race in general, please contact us at volunteer@dark30sports.com.

The race starts at 8 a.m. and is followed by post-race awards, festivities, an awesome raffle, and cleanup. The event ends at 2pm. Every volunteer will receive a race t-shirt and a free post-race meal, and will be eligible for post-race raffle items.

Please complete the below volunteer registration and the mandatory USA Triathlon Volunteer Waiver of Liability. We will contact you to confirm your registration and your race day assignment.
