Every year we get a huge amount of support from local island people and their businesses. We could not put on our events without them, and we would like to give them their due recognition!
The Norm Mathews Family supplies us with food and water from the Thriftway store here on Vashon Island. Thanks, Norm!
The Vashon-Maury Island Radio Club helps keep the athletes safe by providing eyes, ears and Ham Radio communication from around the bicycle course and transition area. Thanks, everyone (too many operators to mention here)!
The good folks at the Vashon Park District help provide the venue and cooperate with our production team to make sure the athletes' needs are met. Thanks, Wendy!
Where would Triathlons be without wonderful Body Marking volunteers? The Vashon High School Cheerleaders help us find interesting things to do with felt tip pens. Thanks, Cindy and the team!
The McMurray Middle School and Vashon High School Track and Cross-Country Teams help provide safety at the intersections and mark the athletes as the round the Burton loop. Thanks, Kevin and the team!
No one would know when to start swimming if it were not for Captain John Burke and the Bounty of Krister, and its canon! Thanks, Cap'n! Hey, he also sets the swim buoys with such precision that you do not have to swim a meter longer than you have to - so say "thanks" as you paddle by.
