Volunteers are very important to the success of our events. We place a high value on our volunteers and will donate money to school groups, church groups, or other non-profit organizations that come help out and make each athlete feel like an Olympian. Volunteer shifts usually last about four hours, but more hours will get you more dollars.

Check out what participants have to say about our volunteers:

“I just wanted to send my personal appreciation for putting such a great race in Michigan! The race was well managed, with plenty of volunteers throughout the course.”

“I did your race last year and had such a blast that I had to come back again. I have been racing triathlons for over 25 years and have been fortunate to race all over the world including a few Ironman and I cannot think of a race that I have enjoyed more. There are so many aid stations and your volunteers are second to none.”

“First, I wish to thank you and all your workers and volunteers for an excellently run race. I have been doing this tri thing for over 6 years and have learned to appreciate a well-run race.”

We have 3 different ways you can cash in by volunteering for an Epic Race:

1. Volunteer Rewards

Here’s how the Epic Volunteer Cash Rewards Program works: our volunteers receive points for volunteering at an Epic Races event. Each point is equal to $1 toward an entry fee or merchandise. Points are cumulative and expire at the end of the following season. For example, if you earn 60 points in 2023, you have until the end of 2024 to use those points towards an Epic Races event.  You will see point values during the volunteer signup process.

2. Host Club

Our Host Club program provides an opportunity for you to give back to the sport you love while providing team building, PR, and a nice discount for all club members.

Here is how it works:
– Choose the race that your club would like to host.
– Work with our volunteer coordinator to fill 20 volunteer spots for that race
– All of your club members get a 15% off discount at all Epic Races for that year

Host clubs run on an annual basis per calendar year.
