Volunteer
Volunteers at the AdventHealth J Youth Triathlon on Sunday, June 25, between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. Volunteers are needed to stand along the bike and run courses to ensure the safety of the children, as well as help with registration, body marking and other aspects of the race. No training or experience is necessary. This is also a great way for high school kids to get some community service hours, too!
We'll see you in 2024!
