XTERRA is seeking volunteers on Friday, May 16, Saturday, May 17, and Sunday, May 18. Our dream would be for Dirt Church to stay after service on Sunday and help show traveling athletes and families what hospitality in the South truly looks like.

You do not need to know anything about triathlons.
You do not need to be an athlete.

XTERRA simply needs kind, encouraging humans willing to:
• Hand out hydration
• Direct athletes
• Place medals around necks
• Cheer loudly and often

That’s it.

Volunteer Perks

To say thank you, we are offering:

• FREE entry to our Saturday 5K for all volunteers
• ½ Triathlon entry opportunities for volunteers
• If a family member would like to donate their half-distance entry to you — we love that too

Volunteering is one of the most energizing ways to experience race weekend. The music. The finish line emotion. The community. It’s contagious.

If you can serve on Sunday (or any day!), please sign up here:
