The St. Malo Triathlon is in Search of a Race Director

St. Malo Triathlon Video June 26, 2011

As many of you are aware, Colin Blanchette who was our race director for St. Malo the past three years has elected to step down from the role in favour of some new personal ventures. The Tribalistic Board is now in search of a race director for the 2012 race and has opted to first offer this opportunity to any interested club members before opening the position up to the Triathlon Community at Large. This is a paid position and Colin has indicated that he will be willing to provide guidance as necessary for the year. 

I have included the Race Director duties below. If anyone would like further information, please contact me by email at kimmitchell (dot) 11 (at) gmail (dot) com  

Regards,

Kim Mitchell
