VOLUNTEERS MAKE OUR EVENT POSSIBLE!
Groups or individuals, we need all the help we can get to produce a great event! Volunteers are an integral part of producing successful events. Without the help of hundreds of volunteers at each event, we wouldn’t be able to continue producing these great events. The Houston Kids Triathlon makes for a great opportunity to support your community, earn required services hours, fundraise for your group or non profit, and build teamwork and camaraderie. If you have any questions please contact support@mynegativesplit.com.
GROUP DONATIONS
Large groups help to fill our volunteer voids quickly, especially during setup and teardown. For this, we offer group donations as a way of saying thank you and urging everyone to return in the future. Each year we allocated $3,000 to donate to volunteer groups for the Typhoon Texas Kids Tri. Over the past 12 years, we have donated over $100,000 to local groups and nonprofits for volunteering at the event. Join us today!
Eligibility - Only groups/clubs/teams that follow these steps will be eligible for donations.
Step #1 - Contact the Volunteer Coordinator via the Contact This Race link at the bottom of the page or send an email to support@mynegativesplit.com. We'll add your group's name to the registration form so your members can easily select the group name.
Step #2 - Have all group members signup online via the Volunteer Registration page and make sure they select your group's name when prompted.

Donation Rules - Below is how we determining donation amounts given post race. Please keep in mind this is volunteer work and was not meant to be "paid." These are donations meant as a thank you for helping at our event.
Once a team/group/club/organization hits 10 volunteer shifts worked they get $10 per shift worked. For example if 16 volunteers from a group signed up and completed 16 shifts they would receive a check for $160 for their group.
Checks will be mailed once volunteer numbers and hours are verified. Please allow 4-6 weeks for check delivery. Those that don’t follow the instructions provided by the volunteer coordinator will not be counted towards group totals.
