Are you available this Saturday, July 2nd between 7- 9am? “Street Police” volunteers are needed at street ends (between 8th and 38th Streets) to prevent traffic from entering and/or crossing Avalon Avenue and First Avenue during the annual Islandman Triathlon http://www.timkerrcharities.org/
There will be over 500 participants in this sold out event: a 1/4 mile ocean swim; the 12 mile closed course bike race (when you see the speeds, you will understand the need for closed roadways!); and the 5K boardwalk/beach run.
All volunteers receive a 2011 Islandman Triathlon t-shirt as a thank you 🙂
Please let me know if you can help…and your preferred location. Thanks!
P.S. Do you know a student who needs service hours? Volunteers can earn 5 hours- Midge Kerr will provide documentation for the students after the race. Contact Midge@TimKerrCharities.org for more information.
Watching the Race, Road Closures
The ocean swim starts behind the Avalon Community Hall at 7:30am; followed by the closed course bike race; and then the foot race.
For safety reasons, no car traffic is permitted on or across Avalon Avenue or First Avenue during the bike race. The adults complete 3 laps on the bike course: north on Avalon Avenue to 8th Street turn around- south on First Avenue to 38th Street and then along Dune Drive to Bayberry Drive, and back north on First Avenue.Â
The kid’s bike race is only along Avalon Avenue.
Volunteers will be at the street ends to stop cars and pedestrians from crossing during the bike races. Plan you Avalon Coffee and Kohler’s run accordingly 😉
