Volunteer Opportunities
Not ready to take the triathlon plunge but want to get involved? Volunteers are needed to serve as bike course marshalls at the triathlon. Volunteers will be stationed in pairs along the triathlon bike route to secure the course and cheer on the athletes. This is a great volunteer activity to do with a friend!
Volunteers will receive a specific intersection assignment prior to the event. Orientation will be provided, and all volunteers will receive a t-shirt, snacks and refreshments while out on the course. In exchange for recruiting volunteers, Fraser will receive a financial donation from Life Time Fitness, so your participation will directly benefit Fraser! Register online, or contact Lori Dossett at 612-798-8313 or lorid@fraser.org.
