REVOLUTION 3 TRIATHLON

56 Mile Bike Course starting at Quassy & coming to Watertown

I’m with the Revolution 3 Triathlon. This is a brand new half iron distance triathlon that will be coming through your town on Sunday, June 7th. The race is based at Quassy Amusement Park, but the 56 mile bike course will come through Watertown. With over 700 athletes, our number one goal is safety, followed by fun for athletes, spectators and the communities involved.

I'm writing in the hopes you can help me get some interest in your community in the form of volunteers. We need about 8-10 bike course marshals in Watertown. These are individuals who stand at the corners or sections of road to help direct bikers and also alert vehicles that there are bikes on the road. We have police for traffic control and large intersection, so they would not be directing traffic, just helping keep everyone safe and heading in the right direction. Each volunteer would commit about 3 hours beginning around 7:00 and ending around 10:00 (times will vary based on exact location).

Volunteers are needed to help at aid stations.  Adult volunteers are needed as bike marshals as they are standing out on the street.

Revolution 3 hopes to change the way athletes and spectators participate in triathlon. We expect to be back every year and it is important to us to have community involvement and support.

I can be reached via cell phone 203-943-0869 or at this email address.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
