🚨📢 Trinona weekend is almost here, and we still need volunteers!

https://runsignup.com/Race/Volunteer/MN/Winona/Trinona

We need a few more awesome people to help make race weekend safe, organized, welcoming, and fun for athletes, families, and the Winona community.

Never volunteered at a race before? No problem at all. We will make sure you know where to go, what to do, and how to help. You do not need to know triathlon. You just need to show up, lend a hand, and cheer people on. Honestly, cheering loudly is half the job.

If you are racing, please share this with someone who might be able to help. If you are already volunteering, thank you! Please consider grabbing another shift or inviting a friend to join you.

Storm the Woods is THIS SUNDAY, and we would love your help making it a safe, welcoming, and fun event for all participants. We are especially looking for volunteers to help with aid stations, the finish line, and merchandise sales. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Whether you have raced before, volunteered before, or are looking for a great way to support the event, we would be grateful for any time you can give. Storm Sporting Events is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and our events help raise money and awareness for youth mental health programs.

If you are racing, this is a great opportunity to invite friends or family to join you at the event by volunteering. If you are already volunteering, please ask family and friends to join you.

Each volunteer will receive a $10 race credit to use toward a future Storm Sporting Events race. If racing is not your thing, you are welcome to share the credit with someone else.

We need volunteers for Storm the Woods - Mason Run at Chester Woods Sunday, June 7 at Chester Woods.
