Community involvement is essential to The Nation’s Triathlon. Without the support of many volunteers and community leaders, the race would not be possible. The Nation's Triathlon partners with the DC Triathlon Club to help build this community. The DC Tri Club provides 2 volunteer coordinators for the race. The volunteer coordinators rely not only on volunteer help from the largest triathlon club in the region, but also forge relationships with other cycling, running, paddling and volunteer groups to provide the over 500 volunteers necessary for the race.
The DC Triathlon Club is a community of over 2,000 triathletes and triathlon enthusiasts from Washington DC, Northern Virginia and Southern Maryland. Established in 2002, the club welcomes triathletes of all ages and experience levels. DC Tri conducts regular group training sessions, workshops and seminars to help develop members' abilities as triathletes. The club also hosts social gatherings and race related events.
