Triathlon volunteers needed

COEUR d'ALENE - Volunteers, the 28th annual Coeur d'Alene Triathlon & Duathlon needs you.

Help is wanted at the finish line, on the water to monitor swimmers, with awards, handing out food, pointing runners and bikers in the right direction, getting bikers on and off bikes, and with crowd control.

The event is Saturday. The Olympic distance race includes a 1.5K swim, 40K bike and 10K run. The duathlon distance includes 5K run, 40K bike and 10K run.

Volunteers, who receive a T-shirt, play a key role in getting athletes through the day. At latest, they should be done by noon.

About 200 volunteers are needed for the triathlon and duathlon, which attracts more than 1,000 athletes.

To volunteer, contact Michelle Haustein, at (208) 415-0106 or [email protected].
