GSLA Call for volunteers

Volunteer Opportunity!
Location: Family Fun Area at ITU World Triathlon
When:  September 16-19th

Can you spare some time to volunteer with the Greater South Loop Association to staff the Family Fun area at this year’s ITU World Triathlon Grand Final event in Grant Park (September 16-19)? You will help the GSLA welcome families from all over the world where they will have activities and inflatables for children to enjoy. When you volunteer, the Family Fun area will be free for you and your family to enjoy too.

The GSLA is excited to represent the South Loop neighborhood at this event and need your help to raise funds for the GSLA. The GSLA is calling for volunteers, kid-centric vendors, booths, entertainment and activities to help showcase Chicago for an international community of racers and their families. Sign up here! Or, send the GSLA an email at info@greatersouthloop.org.

About the event:
Chicago will welcome 150 of the world’s top Olympic-distance triathletes as they compete for a world championship title less than a year prior to the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games. In addition to the elite races, the event features top-flight sprint and Olympic-distance races for age-group athletes, paratriathletes, juniors and under-23s, as well as an aquathlon to kick off the action. In all, more than 8,000 of the world’s best triathletes will compete for world titles over four days of competition.

The ITU World Triathlon Grand Final and World Championships are hosted by USA Triathlon, the National Governing Body for the sport of triathlon in the United States, and Lagardère Unlimited Events North America. Launched in 2009, the ITU World Triathlon Series is televised in more than 160 countries. Visit chicago.triathlon.org for more information.
