LAKEPORT – If you're interested in helping with a world class sporting event coming to Lakeport this summer, be sure to attend one of two meetings planned for this week.

Organizers of Triathlon One O One will hold an informational meeting for volunteers from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 9, and 4 to 5 p.m. Thursday, May 10. The meetings will be held in the Mendo Lake Credit Union conference room, located in the Willow Tree Plaza on 11^th Street in Lakeport.

This is a triathlon race with athletes swimming, cycling, and running a total of 101 miles in and around the Lakeport area. Expected to draw participants, spectators and media from around the country, this race is a community based event requiring a number of volunteer teams to assist in the event production.

 

Organizers are recruiting both individuals and groups for these volunteer teams. The race activities will begin on Thursday, June 7, and continue through the end of race day on Sunday, June 10. The majority of the volunteer needs will be for the race on June 10.

Fundraising opportunities are available for volunteer teams representing local groups such as churches, school clubs, sports teams, scout troops, car clubs and similar community groups.

 

 

The event's organizers are beginning a series of orientation meetings to let everyone know about the specific areas to volunteer and all the related details. If you are interested, let them know and plan on having someone from your group attend one of these meetings.
