With under a month until the first annual Tri-Smore Triathlon, organizers of the event are seeking volunteers to help make it a success.

According to organizer Niki Johnson, the triathlon needs approximately 40-50 more volunteers for the June 25 event.

“We need volunteers to count lanes at the pool, a couple of water stations, the food station, directing traffic and of course volunteers to help set up tables and barricades,” said Johnson. “There is a lot of work to be done.”

In order to help generate interest for volunteers, the organizing committee will raffle off a two-night stay at a resort in British Columbia.

According to Johnson, they were close to 150 people registered to take part in the event as of the June 1 deadline. However, they will still accept registration to the event up to June 15.
