Please sign up now, our group must have 30 members in order to qualify for one of the Ironman grants! It's actually fun to join the group and support this event and essentially have front row access to the action.   

Volunteers Needed for the Ironman 70.3

For the past several years SORBAcsra has volunteered to run Bike Course Aid Station #2, and we will be running this again for this year’s event Sunday, September 27, 2015. Now is that time of year to round up volunteers for the 2015 Ironman 70.3.

Once you have signed up you will receive another email in a few weeks with additional details.

Click the below link. If clicking does not work, then paste the link into your browser address field.

From the group dropdown box, select SORBAcsra. Contact Larry (Larr) Komp at [e-mail] if you have any problems using this link and registering.

You will now be at the Volunteer Registration Page for “Joining SORBAcsra”. Don’t get confused, you are not joining the SORBA organization, you are only signing up to volunteer at the Bike Course Aid Station #2 as a volunteer for the SORBAcsra group. You do not need a password, once you select SORBAcsra as your group that field will disappear.

Complete the form, agree to the waiver and submit.
You will receive a confirmation email from “Confirmation” with the subject line Volunteer Signup for Ironman 70.3 Augusta.

The volunteer time states 6:30am to 2:30pm. Last year a few people were there at 6:30am, but most people came between 7:15 and 8:00am and we were done around 1:00pm. I will know more details in a few weeks.

The online registration only allows 30 people to register. Last year we had 35 people and we will need the same this year. If you try to register and the registration is full or if you have any questions, please send Larr an email [e-mail]

Thank you!

Had a great turnout of volunteers for the 7th annual Augusta Ironman 70.3. After 6 amazing years as director of Water Station #2, Paul Farrow passed the baton to Larry Komp. It takes many people working together to make this successful and we had over 40 great, hard-working volunteers. Just a few pictures from today's event. If you have never worked this event it is a lot of work for about 6 hours but so very satisfying. Water Station #2 is positioned about a third of the way up a significant hill at about the 37 mile marker along a 56 mile course. The encouragement and fuel we provide to these riders are always so appreciated and they are happy to tell us as they are coming through. It looked a little bleak out but with the exception of a little mist the weather was perfect. High 60's to low 70's and overcast making for good conditions for riders and volunteers. If you didn't make it this year, put it on your calendar for next year. Thank you volunteers!

We had a cheerleader>>>



The volunteers are out on the course about an hour and a half before the first rider comes through to get things set up>>>



A lot of water and Gatorade was dispensed today>>>



This was a new addition this year and the responses were everything from "That stuff will give me a heart attack." and "Where's the vodka?" to sheer delight that Red Bull was there on ice and available to them>>>



Big smiles from those who partook>>>



Lots of bananas, Gu, Cliff Bars and blocks were consumed as well!
