Vineyard Warrior - Volunteer Martha's Vineyard Triathlon

about us | blog

VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers are an important part of the Vineyard Warrior Triathlon. Volunteers enjoy the camaraderie of being on the team to produce a premier athletic event.. Volunteers provide safety and direction to competitors, help with the control of spectators and local traffic and support the athletes at water stations at T1, T2, and every 1.5 miles of the run to the finish. These are just a few of the many ways you might volunteer; we look forward to hearing from you and the ways you can help.

In 2011 some very dedicated volunteers helped make the inaugural event a mammoth success. You may see them donning their "Volunteer Warrior" t-shirts. They also enjoyed free entry to the post race party; complete with Smoke n' Bones BBQ, Giordano's Pizza, Blake's Pies, ice cream, chips, drinks, Dunkin' Donuts coffee, and more.

Interested in volunteering for the second annual Vineyard Warrior Triathlon? Email us at volunteer@vineyardwarrior.com and let us know a little bit about yourself and your interests.

Volunteers will be able to attend our post race party, get a free T-shirt, and earn bragging rights for all future events that they helped make Vineyard Warrior one of the premier triathlons in the country.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Anne Draper and Bevin Goodwin Cetta

Spending summers in Oak Bluffs as teens these sisters developed an unmatched fondness for the Vineyard. Athletics came later in life as Bevin would eventually enter 2 Boston Marathons and Anne would travel the South east racing in 100, 200, and 400m events. In their 50s they rode across Iowa in RAGBRAI and participated in numerous other cylcing events well into their 60s. Still active the sisters realize "without volunteers there would be no events, no adventures, no competition." Thank you Anne and Bevin for realizing events like Vineyard Warrior depend on volunteers like you.

Rita Patnode

A nurse for 30 years working in the neonatal ICU and pediatrics departments, Rita and her family have been coming to Martha's Vineyard since 1996. She and her daughter Connie (also an athlete and quite likely future triathlete) will be volunteering while cheering on Rita's husband John who is participating in his first triathlon as part of Vineyard Warrior. I hope no one needs her professional services, but if so she will be helping out at one of our medical stations. Thanks for your help Rita and Connie.
