Request from Midge Kerr: We have quite a openings for volunteers on our bike course for the upcoming charity event, Islandman and Islandkids Triathlons in just two weeks on June 29th. We need to keep the cyclist safe while they are riding their bikes and limit vehicle and pedestrian crossing in front of them until there is a gap and it is safe to allow them to cross. Time commitment is from 7:15- 9:45am and your are assigned a street somewhere along Avalon Avenue and First Avenue. Volunteers get a tee shirt to wear during the event and custom Defeet event socks. Bike Course Marshals can check in and get their race gear Friday from 5-7pm, inside Community Hall, 3001 Avalon Avenue. This way, race day Saturday, volunteers could go directly to their assigned streets and avoid all the athletes checking in at the hall. If that is not an option, volunteers can still come race day from 5:30-7am and check in at the volunteer table inside the hall. Bike course coverage is critical to the safety and success of our event in our community. Marshals must be at least 18 years of age. There are specific streets that are open and listed on the sign up page. If you live near one of the open streets on the race course and would like to be assigned that street, please email midge@timkerrcharities.org your request.  Thank you!
