Reston Kids Triathlon

On August 14, 2011 at 8am, the YMCA Fairfax County Reston and Reston Association will be holding the first annual Reston Kid's Triathlon. The event is intended to be a fun opportunity for youngsters to stay active through the summer and learn about the fast growing sport of triathlon.

The Reston Kids Triathlon can only be a success with many community volunteers. Volunteers are needed for many different areas, if you would like to support local kids and volunteer for this event, please email Margaret O'Gorman at mbogorman@gmail.com with your name, address, phone number and email, as well as your preferred placement for volunteering.

Swim Course:

Assist with organizing start order and helping younger kids out of the end of the pool to head to the bike transition area, and giving encouragement.

Transition Area:

Assist with kids finding their bikes after the swim and parking their bikes after the ride (racks are numbered), making sure helmets are fastened before riding, keeping parents and spectators out and giving general instructions and encouragement.

Bike Course:

Monitor car traffic coming out of neighborhoods and instruct riders regarding upcoming turns, hills or speed bumps (small kids only). Course monitors will hold cars coming out of or going into neighborhood streets only - not traffic direction. Also a good spot to offer encouragement to the participants.

Run Course:

Similar to bike course for instructing runners of upcoming turns and offering encouragement.

Finish Line:

Maintain security of finish line area as kids may only be released to the parent/guardian with a matching wristband. Congratulating finishers and handing out medals. Help out with organizing participants for photographs of age groups.

Food:

Assist with transporting, set up and take down of post race food and beverages.
