Organized by the Mobile Bar Foundation [a charitable 501(c)(3)], the Tri The Gulf is a "sprint" triathlon held on Dauphin Island, Alabama. It is a multi-sport competition involving swimming, bicycling, and running. While triathletes are competing for the best overall course completion time, Volunteers are making it possible!
Volunteers are needed for:
- Registration table help
- Distributing water & food to athletes
- Counting athletes as they arrive and depart certain points
- Traffic assistance (hold a sign, watch for runners).
Volunteers can wear Jag wear or organization identifying clothing. (Come wearing matching shirts to represent your organization!) All volunteers are provided an event t-shirt and are invited to attend the After-the-Event Party at the Isle Dauphine Club facilities on Dauphin Island for FREE.
Volunteers assisting with Registration report to the Isle Dauphine Club no later than 5:30 am. Other Volunteers assisting with swim, bicycle and run courses should be on Dauphin Island no later than 6:15 am (traffic is restricted on the bridge at 6:30 -- so you won't want to be late!) Depending on where you volunteer, the even will be end between 11:30 and Noon.
Proceeds from the event benefit charitable and civic endeavors in the Mobile-Southwest Alabama area like Volunteer Lawyer Program, Volunteer Guardian Program, Legal Services, Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, etc. If you Respond here, you can track your hours, or you can receive written confirmation of your service from the Mobile Bar Foundation.
