Thank you so much Bill. I appreciate your help!
Boat Volunteers for Happy Valley Ironman 70.3 needed!
Happy Valley Ironman 70.3 is back this summer. We are looking for volunteers to help at the lake. If you are a kayaker, canoer or SUP'er, please become a volunteer for the race. Details below:
Sat. June 29: drop off boat at the BALD EAGLE BOAT LAUNCH in Howard, PA (there will be security to monitor boats throughout day/night). Someone will be there from 10-4pm to help unload boats. If you can't drop off on Saturday, come 15 minutes early on Sunday.
Sunday, June 30: 5:30am orientation meeting/instructions for all boaters. BE ON TIME. (A Safety/instructional video will be sent out the week prior.) Coffee and refreshments available. 6:15am we launch boats and position along race route to monitor the swimmers and keep them on course. At 7:00am swimmers enter the lake. 9:00am-9:10am the last swimmer exits water. 9:20am or as soon as we get the signal from Ironman, the boaters exit water and go home knowing they played a huge part in the success of the Happy Valley Ironman 70.3!
All volunteers receive an official Ironman 70.3 t-shirt.

Scroll down the list until you get to SWIM SUP KAYAK CANOE-
This is the one you will sign up for.
After you click the box for SWIM SUP KAYAK CANOE-, you need to scroll down to the bottom, where it asks if you have a boat or need one, it will also ask you to read the waiver and sign it. If you don't complete all fields, it will not go through.
We are in need of 65 boaters. Feel free to recruit friends and family.
Please: if you sign up for this, you must show up. 'No shows' are not acceptable for this very important position.
If you have any questions on logistics, skill level, etc, please feel free to text Lisa Wandel, boat captain at 814.404.7312 or email her at: lisawandel12@gmail.com.
Thank you very much for your consideration and hopefully support!
