The Ironman is still looking for volunteers for the August 31st event.
Here is the email that was sent out.

Thanks in advance!

As you know, the Ford Ironman Louisville is upon us. Next week, we
will be hosting over 2,000 athletes who will compete in the Ironman
event. I think all of us who are helping hope to make this event a
success for each and every athletes who begins the race on Aug. 31st.
But we have a problem. Right now, there are still HUNDREDS of
volunteer spots that remain unfilled. For this event to be successful,
we MUST have the proper amount of volunteers in place at every job.
Otherwise, it can potentially become very dangerous, very quickly. We
must step up and properly serve these athletes. This email is to make
you aware of volunteer shifts that need some help. Here are some of
the bigger needs:
• Athlete Check-In on Thursday and Friday at the Galt House (both
shifts on both days need help)
• Morning Clothes Bag Collection on Sunday morning at Tumbleweed
(4:30am-9:30am)
• Morning Clothes Bag Retrieval on Sunday on Sunday at the Convention
Center (both shifts need LOTS of help)
• Course Marshals on Sunday out on the Bike and Run Course
• Men's and Women's Changing Tents on Sunday at the Great Lawn (3p-
6:30p shift) • Bike Catcher on Sunday at the Great Lawn (11:30a - 3p)
• IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO WORK AT A WATER STOP ON THE RUN COURSE, CONTACT
ME DIRECTLY. And if you are a part of a group, or know of a group,
that would like to volunteer, please contact me asap.
