On August 22, more than 800 people will compete in the 29th Annual Sandestin Triathlon, one of the largest athletic events held in Northwest Florida. The Sandestin Triathlon consists of half-mile Gulf of Mexico swim, 20-mile bike ride along Scenic Highway 30-A, and a four-mile run through Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort's beach and bayside communities. Proceeds from the event support the Sandestin Foundation for Kids, making a positive difference in the lives of children.
Nearly 200 volunteers are needed to assist with race support during Sandestin Triathlon weekend. In return, all volunteers will receive a commemorative race t-shirt, access to the official hospitality tent and special room rates at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
Volunteers can sign up for a specific day, or both days, and choose from a number of duties including assembling race packets, answering questions from athletes and relay teams, body marking, assisting in transition areas, handing out water and energy drinks to competitors, or other responsibilities with race operations. After signing up, officials with the Sandestin Triathlon will contact prospective volunteers to provide full information and where to report on race weekend. Volunteers can register online at SandestinTriathlon.com/Volunteers.
