Volunteering in the Triathlon Village means helping Pauline (Village Mayor) to..:

  • Set up and dismantle the various defined areas (tables, benches, tents, podiums, decorations). You don’t need strong arms, but a good pair of gloves, a pair of wire cutters and a good mood are all you need to accomplish these tasks!

The village is set up a few days before the triathlon and generally dismantled on Sunday afternoon/Monday morning. Often under a blazing sun, a cap and sun cream are a must 😉 Refreshments provided and a relaxed atmosphere!
