Registration is now open to volunteer for the World Triathlon Championship Series in Bermuda

With events scheduled to take place on November 5 and 6, organisers and PwC Bermuda alongside organisers.

Organisers, alongside PwC Bermuda, the event’s official volunteer programme supplier, are looking to fill more than 400 positions across 19 categories to ensure the two-day programme runs smoothly.

“Running an event of this magnitude relies heavily on the support of great partners and dedicated volunteers,” said Hazel Clark, chairperson of WTSBDA Ltd and the local organising committee.

“Bermuda has proven its solid track record of support in these areas through previous events, and we’re looking for that same great energy for this year’s racing activities in November.

“Continuing to align ourselves with valued supporters such as PwC also allows us to implement a complete volunteer programme, including initiatives demonstrating our appreciation of their time and unwavering efforts. Volunteers are vital to the success of our event.”

This year the organisers are implementing a ‘Double Up to Win’ challenge. With competitions taking place over the course of two days, volunteers over the age of 18 are encouraged to sign up for two or more shifts in roles that span from the athlete welcome area, through to course marshals. Shifts can be selected for the same day, or on both days.

All volunteers who take part in this incentive will be automatically entered for a chance to win one of three Apple, or other product prizes.

“We are thrilled to be the Official Volunteer Programme Sponsor for the World Triathlon Championship Series Bermuda, acting on our purpose and commitment to volunteerism,” said Scott Watson-Brown, Partner of PwC Bermuda.

“We encourage everyone to take a look at the volunteer opportunities and be part of this momentous race weekend, which will see the world’s best triathletes compete on our island, including Bermuda’s own Olympic champion Dame Flora Duffy.”

A wide variety of roles are available to choose from, including marshalling, transition assistance, medal ceremonies, registration, information and media desk, swim assistants, opening ceremony, elite lounge, food area, and more.

Once registered, volunteers will receive information to attend orientation sessions being held next month, when detailed information about items such as dress code, meals, training, and kits will be provided.
