The New Mexico Adventure Racing Club and Sports Systems have revived the Cochiti Lake Triathlon, and added an 8hr Sprint Adventure Race. To help make the Triathlon and adventure race a safer, more successful race, they need safety kayakers to assist swimmers, as needed, during the swim portion of the triathlon.

The swim portion will be a standard 1.5k swim, wave start, in a triangular pattern. 6 - 12 safety kayakers will be needed inside and outside of the triangle. In addition to safety kayakers, there will be larger power boats with trained life-guards to assist. Kayakers are needed, mostly, so that a swimmer who is out of breath, can swim over to the kayak, catch their breath and rest temporarily, then continue swimming.

Volunteers will receive a $20 gift card to Sports Systems, a Volunteer T-shirt, and a free BBQ lunch.

6:00am - Volunteers are asked to arrive at Cochiti Lake Recreation Area, on the West side of the lake
6:45am - kayakers on the water, in position for start of race
7:00am - Race begins, various legs with staggered start times
8:30am - anticipated time for last swimmer

11:00am - BBQ served

New Mexico Kayak Instruction will provide a limited number of boats for Volunteers at this event. If you have your own boat, you're encouraged to bring it.
