Race organization - done it?

Just out of curiosity, has anyone here ever organized an open water race? Was it a lot of work? Difficult to find volunteers? Where did you find things like marker buoys?

  • My friend and I are venturing out into race organization for the first time next year by putting together a 1 mile and 8.12 mile race in the Great Salt Lake. My biggest concern has been making sure the race is as safe as possible for the swimmers. I have been helping out another race director here for the past few years and have learned a lot by "apprenticing". If anyone will be in Salt Lake on June 11, we would love to have you swim with us!
