HITS Triathlon Series seeks event volunteers in Sterling, Colorado


HITS Triathlon Series will continue its national tour July 28-29, 2012 with a weekend of racing in Sterling, Colorado and is eager to welcome volunteers to get in on the action. HITS Triathlon Series will welcome 500 athletes to the Sterling region, offering five race distances throughout the weekend, including the HITS Open and a Sprint, Olympic, Half and Full distance race.

 “Volunteers are the reason that these races are possible,” said Mark H. Wilson, Race Director for HITS Triathlon Series. “They not only help the event to run smoothly, but they are a source of emotional and mental support for the athletes who are out there pushing the limits of their bodies.”

The new kid on the triathlon block, HITS Triathlon Series hopes to engage local volunteers and build a lasting relationship with each community that they visit. In addition, any organization that brings a group to volunteer on race day will have the opportunity to use their hours served as a fundraiser.  

“Our number one priority is to grow this sport,” added Wilson. “Encouraging volunteers is one way to do that. We’ve seen people volunteer at events who never believed triathlon was an option for them and, a few races down the road, we see their name on our HITS Open or Sprint participant lists.”

Whether it’s checking athletes in at packet pick-up, handing out water at an aid station or placing a medal around an athlete’s neck at the finish line, HITS Triathlon Series will give its volunteers a front row seat at one of world’s most inspiring sporting events.

Volunteer registration is available online at HitsTriathlonSeries.com. Interested volunteers can also contact HITS Triathlon Series by calling 845.246.8833 or by e-mailing info@HitsTriathlonSeries.com.
