Race Day is Quickly Approaching and We Need Your Help!

Come be a part of the largest endurance sports event in Nevada. As you may have heard, we’ve added the Silverman ½ to our 2007 lineup which means we’re likely to double our participation! We’re excited to watch this race continue to grow as we invite even more people from around the world to our wonderful city and show them what Nevada has to offer beyond gaming. So once again, we need your help. Last year was another HUGE success due largely in part to the 800+ incredible volunteers we had working with us. Participants benefited from a 4:1 volunteer to athlete ratio; something that is virtually unheard of in this sport. We’ve heard nothing but compliments from our 2006 finishers who have raved about how supportive and encouraging the volunteers and Henderson Community were. And this year we’d love nothing more than to outdo ourselves! That means we need 1,000 of the most energetic, helpful people we can find!

Aside from watching some of the best endurance athletes in the world, you can expect a great day! You’ll be surrounded by awesome people, our Volunteer tent will be stocked with plenty of complimentary food and beverages to fill your bellies, you’ll get a smokin' Silverman t-shirt and hat, a goody bag and a chance to be a part of history! In addition, we’ll be offering up great prizes to the best aid stations on the bike and run course again! Last year we had a myriad of themes including "Superheroes," "An Oasis in the Desert" – even belly dancers and this year we’re anticipating even more pizzazz!! But if all of these great benefits still aren’t enough to get you to come out and help, we’ll be bringing in Outback Steakhouse to host a Volunteer Appreciation BBQ a couple of weeks after the race as our way of saying "thank you." There will be raffles, great food and much, much more!

There are still various volunteer positions available. So, if you are not interested in racing we encourage you to be a part of our volunteer staff and provide much needed support to the athletes. For more information on volunteering please visit our Web site at www.silvermannv.com.
