ATTENTION, Eagleman volunteers! Below is a message from the Volunteer Director about shuttles. And it's not too late to volunteer! See what volunteer shifts are still open at ironman.com/races/im703-eagleman/volunteer.

A friendly reminder that there is no on-site parking available at Gerry Boyle Park. Depending on your volunteer assignment, you may need to park on nearby streets and walk to your volunteer location, or use the shuttle service if it is convenient for your area.

Please allow yourself a little extra travel time, especially on race morning.

If your volunteer role is located away from the main venue (such as an aid station, course location, or other remote assignment), please follow any location-specific instructions provided by your captain or volunteer coordinator.

Thank you again for volunteering. Events like Eagleman simply would not be possible without your support, and we're excited to have you as part of race weekend!

✅ The IRONMAN 70.3 Eagleman triathlon is set for this Sunday, June 14. Triathletes from all over the country will swim 1.2 miles in the Choptank River, bike 56 miles, and run 13.1 miles – all in Dorchester County.
✅ Please drive safely: Athletes will be cycling and running on local roads starting from the early morning until mid-afternoon. �
✅ There will be delays on some roads as athletes and cars share the road. Please plan accordingly. See the Traffic Impact here. Plus course maps: ironman.com/im703-eagleman-course
✅ Info for spectators – athlete tracker, schedule of events, spectator guide: ironman.com/races/im703-eagleman/supporters
✅ One reason triathletes love coming to Dorchester County is because of our community spirit! So come cheer them on at Gerry Boyle Park at Great Marsh, 1 Somerset St., Cambridge (site of the swim start, all the transitions, and the finish line) or along the course routes where it’s safe to do so.
✅ This event requires hundreds of volunteers. A big THANKS to all of you individuals and groups who are helping! NOTE: There are still some volunteers slots that need filling! Past volunteers talk about what fun they have and how they enjoy meeting the triathletes and other volunteers. See the list and sign up here: ironman.com/races/im703-eagleman/volunteer
