Calling Parents to Support the IRONKIDS Community
Organizers are encouraging parents to volunteer for the IRONKIDS pre-event on March 1, 2025. Assistance is needed in several key areas:
- Check-in and participant support
- Guiding athletes to the start line
- Marshal locations for course safety
- Post-event recovery and medal distribution
Families play a vital role in creating a safe, memorable, and encouraging environment for every young participant, strengthening the spirit of community that events like IRONKIDS foster.
