About
Volunteer in 2022!
The New York City Triathlon wouldn't be possible without the help and support of the 1,500+ volunteers that lend a hand race weekend. We cannot thank you enough for donating your time and effort to help make the NYC Triathlon a memorable experience for everyone involved. We couldn't do it without you!
Volunteer in 2022 and receive a priority discounted entry for the 2023 race!
All Volunteers that complete their volunteer shift during the 2022 race will receive a priority discounted entry into the 2023 race. Only one discounted entry is given per person but is transferrable to a friend or family. While we encourage you to volunteer for multiple shifts, you will only receive one discounted entry.
Volunteer Group Program
The New York City Triathlon will provide charitable contributions to groups of 10+ volunteers. To learn more about group opportunities and how you can earn a donation for your sports team, non-profit, or other organization, please contact Katie at volunteers@feetonthestreetevents.com.
Plans Changed? No longer able to volunteer in 2022?
If you have registered to volunteer on race weekend and can no longer attend, please email us at volunteers@feetonthestreetevents.com. Failure to notify race management prior to your shift that you will not be in attendance will result in a permanent ban from volunteering at the New York City Triathlon.
