WHYRacing is seeking volunteers for the Columbia River Triathlon, which spans two days - Friday, August 12 & Saturday, August 13. See the Columbia River Triathlon volunteer sign-up page for volunteer times and details. As always, Whisper Running will be on site distributing promotional flyers. You may consider the Whisper Running canopy your home base for the event and enjoy the festivities as much as you can. The Whisper canopy will be at or near the Start/Finish area.

Sprint & Olympic AquaBike: You will start in the AquaBike wave and complete the 1/2 mile or 1500m swim, then complete the specific bike route (12 miles (11.77) or 22.8 miles). Then rack your bike, exit transition through the entrance without timing mats and make your way across the finish line so we can announce your name and reward you with your finisher’s medal. This is a perfect event for those who are not runners (and don’t want to walk the Tri) and/or those who are recovering from a running injury.
