Door County YMCA

The Door County YMCA is proud to support the Door County Triathlon by helping recruit and organize COURSE VOLUNTEERS—an essential part of making race day safe, smooth, and successful for every participant. While our role is focused on volunteers, the impact reaches much further. Events like the triathlon help raise funds that are reinvested right here in the Door County community, including support for local programs like those offered through the YMCA. From youth development to health and wellness initiatives, these funds help ensure that more individuals and families have access to opportunities that strengthen both body and community. Every COURSE VOLUNTEER plays a part in that impact. By giving a few hours of your time, you’re not just helping runners find their way or handing out water—you’re contributing to an event that helps give back to the community we all care about. To see which volunteer positions are still available, please visit the Door County Triathlon website at https://www.doorcountytriathlon.com/volunteer. You can also reach out with any questions to Annette Varnes avarnes@doorcountyymca.org or Brett Cleveland bcleveland@doorcountyymca.org. Be part of something bigger—sign up and help make a difference.
