Things to bring on race day

• Depending on where you are volunteering, sun screen, hat are very important
• If you are on the bike course, you are encouraged to bring lawn chair. We will be sending out letters to all residents of Green and Nash roads and asking if any of those residents would be willing to open their house for washroom use. We will let you know.
• If you are on the run route route, you are also welcome to bring a lawn chair. Run route will also have two water stations where you may want to work. Other places on the run route are in the forest, you may want to bring bug spray.
• If you are volunteering to work transition area, get ready to go! This is the busiest area of the race, you will not have any time to rest and will be on your feet the entire morning. The same goes for finish line area and driveway supervision.
• If you are working the pool area, you will be provided a chair to sit on and you get the chance to see the kids start this very exciting event. Pool volunteers really set the ton of the entire event. Words of encouragement just as they begin are very important. Remebering that this is the most nervous part of the event for kids and also for parents watching. We provide you lap counters to use to keep track and to also let the parents know how their kids are doing. Pool volunteers also work the exit coming out of the pool to ensure crowds don't get in the way of the kids. Once they are outside the building the transition area volunteers take the responsibility then.
• We welcome the use of cameras on the run and bike routes. Having additional pictures from last year was a very nice thing to have in promoting the event for 2010. Remember though your first job in athlete safety, your safety then pictures if you are capable.

Volunteer training for Courtice Kids of Steel Triathlon Date to be determined Courtice Community Complex (Hall B) Is very important that all interested volunteers attend this orientation, so that come race morning you will know what your doing and where you are to be. We have volunteer orientation/training a few days before the event so that on race morning everyone knows where to go and what is expected from them. There simply is no time on the morning of the event to train volunteers. So it is very important that if you want to help out on Sunday that you attend the volunteer training. Even if you already know what you want to do. It is important for the committee that you know who are the coordinators for each of the 4 discplines. (Transition included) With us expecting 225 kids for 2010, we will all have to be on our toes.
