The 2012 Graniteman Endurance Series consists of three triathlons. The first event will be held at Lake George in St. Cloud on June 24th. The second event will be held in Clearwater on Saturday, July 14th. The final race is in Big Lake, MN on Saturday, August 6th, and the final event is the Graniteman Half Marathon which is being held on Friday September 9th and Saturday Septemer 10th. A key component to the success of this event is the generous help and support of our invaluable volunteers.

There are various activities to volunteer for depending on the race, which include registration, Body Marking, tear down, handing out racers materials, and staff designated points along the course to cheer and guide participants in the race. Any interested volunteers, anyone at any age, will aid in making this year's Graniteman Endurance Series events a great success! All will receive free refreshments and are eligible for all of the great door prizes that are given away after the races are finished!
