***We have now added a $20 volunteer fee.***
Volunteer Information
The Capital District Triathlon Club is 100% volunteer run. To encourage all members to participate in triathlon club activities, $20 of the 2024 membership fee will be refunded at the end of season to each member who has completed at least one eligible volunteer slot. The greatest need for volunteers is the club’s annual race in August.
