Marahaling The Club Races
The Thames Turbo Sprint Triathlon race series dates are now live! The committee ask that for the good of our club every member fulfils their duty, set out in the club rules, to marshall at least 1 of our races. Marshalling generally entails a few hours the afternoon before the race to setup equipment and signage and helping on race day with a morning (6am – 11ish Finish) of looking after race competitors, helping on the course and packing away afterwards. We know it is an early start and by way of saying thank you to our volunteers provide free bacon sandwiches and cups of tea/coffee.
Please can you let me know which race you can Marshall by signing up below.
Please remember – The Races are run purely for the benefit of the membership. All profits are used to subsidise membership fees for all of us. Our race profits last year were about £12,000, our fees would really need to increase if we were to generate this amount without the races. If you are not able to Marshall please can you let me know, but we do ask that you make every effort to help our club as this the races benefit us all.
If you have never marshalled before please don’t worry we’ll show you the ropes. It is actually a fun few hours and for new comers to the club this is also a great opportunity to mix with other members.
Please sign up today

Marshalling is such a great way to get to know other members if you’re new. Thames Turbo races are known for being so friendly and encouraging. My 11 yo and I had so much fun handing out water and cheering for each of the competitors last May. Looking forward to marshalling again in August.
