Tomaree Triathlon Club
Volunteers & Marshalls
TTC is a community sporting club, reliant on the collaboration of members and friends to organize and run the monthly club races that attract participants from far and wide. It has a reputation for encouraging & welcoming new members of all abilities & background, fostering a grass roots culture that encourages participation above all else.
Just like our competitors on race day, marshalling and other volunteering roles require no prerequisite skills or experience. The only limitations are placed on bike and run course marshals,
who must;
- · be at least 18 years of age
- · hold a current drivers license, and
- · be in possession of a mobile phone whilst marshalling
All volunteers will be briefed by a race day co-ordinator on race day, to ensure each feels confident and supported in performing the role.
Our marshals and volunteers also have the opportunity to prepare for their role in the upcoming race by downloading the appropriate brief below;

In keeping with the spirit of participation, all club members are asked to contribute for a volunteer and/or marshalling role on at least one occasion throughout the season. Members are asked to nominate a race date and preferred role when filling the online member registration form. Once the nomination is made, the responsibility rests with the member to either fill the role themselves on the day, or arrange for a friend or family member to fill the role. Whilst we expect members to nominate for at least one race, we encourage all volunteers to nominate as often as is possible.
Further, we also encourage family, friends and members of the wider community to involve themselves with the club through volunteer race day roles. It is important to recognize that having an official race day role not only ensures a safer and smoother race experience for competitors, but should also be a positive experience for all volunteers. It’s an opportunity to make a very real contribution on race day and perhaps learn a little more about triathlon through different eyes.
Non members wishing to nominate for a race day role should email the Marshall Co-ordinator at

In the absence of the requisite numbers of volunteers on the duty roster for a particular race, the race director will, prior to the race brief, call for additional volunteers from race participants and others present. If further volunteers are still required following this, numbers will be drawn randomly from a bucket containing all race numbers for the remaining roles.
