The build up for The Blenheim Triathlon 2005 has already begun and we want you to be a part of the excitement! Be part of the team by volunteering to marshal at The Blenheim Triathlon.

We are looking for volunteers to come and help out at the inaugural Blenheim Triathlon on Sunday 22^nd May at Blenheim Palace, Woodstock- Oxford. To organise an event of this stature requires a great deal of support from local residents and organisations so if you can spare the day to be part of the tri team please contact us today.

Everybody gets the chance to be part of the action on the day. Marshalling is a great way to meet people, make friends and gain experience of large scale events, but most of all it will leave you with the thrill of working as part of a team at one of the UK’s most scenic triathlons. You could be directing athletes, helping at the swim/run change over point, supporting competitors on the run, helping spectators or handing out the all-important medals! All we require is that marshals are over 17 years old.

• Agreed Travel Expenses
• Limited Edition T-Shirt
• Food and refreshments throughout the day
• A sense of Achievement

Sunday 22^nd May 2005

The world’s largest Triathlon takes place on the 6th and 7^th August 2005. Over 10,000 participants including the world’s top triathletes, fun runners and celebrities will be taken through their paces in the swim, bike, run event, passing world famous landmarks such as Big Ben and Tower Bridge and The London Eye. The Event is held at The ExCeL Exhibition Centre in London, Royal Victoria Dock, E16 1XL.

The Michelob ULTRA London Triathlon also plays host to, an exciting free entry sports and fitness exhibition, The London Triathlon Expo - featuring seminars, sports retailers and interactive challenge areas.

Marshal duties and responsibilities vary depending on the experience of the individual concerned, but everybody gets the chance to be part of the action on the day. Marshalling is a great way to meet people, make friends and gain experience of large scale events, but most of all it will leave you with the thrill of working as part of a team at the world’s biggest triathlon. You could be directing athletes, helping at the swim/run change over point, supporting competitors on the run, helping spectators or handing out the all-important medals!

Marshals really do make a huge difference to the whole running of the event. We have had some great feedback from last year’s competitors - here are just a few of their comments:

"Well done for such a well-organised event and for helping us novices to get through it, and a particular thank you to all those marshals and other helpers giving up their time to give us such a great event" Jon Idle
