IRONMAN Oceania oversees the portfolio of events here in Australia and in NZ, hosting an array of elite and semi-professional events, such as the 70.3 IRONMAN series: as well as several community events including the City 2 Surf fun run.

IRONMAN Geelong 70.3 is one of the most exciting triathlon events on the calendar. The event relies on a village of wonderful volunteers to span the length of the course and assist our 1500+ athletes in reaching their greatest athletic milestone yet.

The event itself entails a 1.9km swim, 90km bike leg, followed by a 21.1km run home to the finish line, and hence there is a wide array of roles requiring volunteers.

Individual roles include Course Marshals, Swim start and finish, Athlete Services Assistants, Finish Line Assistants, Check in Assistants, Lead Bikes and Aid stations, just to name a few!

All roles, dependent on location have varying time commitments, with the largest being approx. 7.5hrs. All volunteers will receive a volunteer pack to ensure they are looked after throughout the day. IRONMANs are a unique atmosphere unlike other sporting events, and we would love to have you along with us for the journey of Geelong 70.3
