Volunteer Opportunities:
IRONMAN 70.3 Salem
July 20, 2025
Join the Salem Rugby Club in volunteering as a crossing guard for the Ironman 70.3 event!
IRONMAN race’s draw a lot of spectators. It is important to maintain distance between spectators and athletes when crossing the course. You may be moved from one location to another during your shift. Each year the crowds tend to shift a little differently. You will be on your feet the entire time. Please wear appropriate shoes and clothing for the weather.
