Introduction
Like other competitions that are labour-intensive to organise,
triathlon is a sport that needs a large number of volunteers
during races. As TAS Management Committee comprises of fewer
that 10 members, the association relies heavily on volunteers
to assist in pre-registration, swim safety, body-marking,
lap recording, timekeeping, managing the water-points, etc.
Sources of Volunteers
Depending on the complexity of the competition and the race
course, the number of helpers requires can range from 150
to 300. Volunteers may come from many sources including relatives
and friends of the Management Committee, students from secondary
schools, junior colleges or polytechnics, parents of NTS triathletes,
members of TAS and also organisations such as NOKIA Helping
Hands, Deutsche Bank, etc.
TAS Volunteers
Most TAS volunteers are unknown. They work in the shadow
to make the race as beautiful and successful as possible.
They wake up early and go to sleep late, no matter how tired
they are. They have promised and they give all. Be it rain
or shine, they are there and don't hesitate to help out. They
are at the drink stations, they set up the race course for
triathletes, the transition area and welcome spectators and
the triathletes. They prepare all the details of organisation
weeks before the race.
They come from all walks of life. From students to professionals
like engineers, accountants and doctors to production assistants
and even fellow sportsperson. All with one common interest
in multi-sport racing and the camaraderie, the fun and most
of all, the sense of achievement by all that is involved.
Therefore, we encourage and welcome members of the public
who are keen, to become a volunteer with TAS.
