Volunteers

To volunteer, give us a call on 01437 765777 or apply online.

Being part of the volunteer team can involve route marshalling, manning aid stations, pre- and post-event set up… and everything in between! In addition to this, your encouragement and enthusiasm to both the athletes and the team are invaluable! It’s a great personal reward for you and makes a huge difference to the athletes on the day.

There are some great benefits to being a marshal for Activity Wales Events, including:

  • FREE volunteer event t-shirt
  • FREE packed lunch & drink (dietary requirements will be catered for)
  • FREE entry to the post-event party
  • Discounted merchandise
  • Volunteer medal

As an extra incentive, groups of 10 or more volunteers will get £400 towards their chosen team, club or charity.

A prize of £1,000 is available for the best-supporting village on the bike and run course!

If you want to get involved and volunteer as an individual or team, please enter your details online by clicking here or call us on 01437 765 777.

As triathletes were all familiar with the 5 training zones but in swimming, we like to make things more scientific and slightly more technical. This month I will be explaining the Swimming Energy systems with an easy-to-follow guide to help you put together your own swim session plan.
