Do you have friends participating in Ironman?

Do you love giving back to Tulsa?

Do you enjoy cheering for athletes at the peak of their performance?

The Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition is proud to partner with IRONMAN Tulsa to provide volunteers for the race!

STEP 1 (step one of two)• Please sign up using this link and designate that you are volunteering with the Tulsa Urbn Wilderness Coalition (you must complete this step first).

You MUST complete this form in its entirety. It will start by asking for your NAME & EMAIL address.

You do not have to volunteer in a specific area but these are the areas we will be in.

• Laurie Biby will be at the Swim Portion serving as Kayak Support (you must have your own Kayak and Saftey Gear)
• April Shroff Captian Run Station #2
• Andrew Aguirre Captian Run Station #3

(You must make this designation at the time of sign-up. If you have already signed up you can cancel your sign-up and then re-reserve your slot and designate the charity as the Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition for the exact same slot!)

STEP 2 • We have to keep a list of volunteers too!

If you do not do both your volunteer hours will not be credited to the TUWC.

9AM – NOON

• Come prepared to work
  
• Crews will be very spread out

What to bring / wear:

Tools (optional)

*****should you bring personal tools please clearly label them so you can make it home with what you brought.

*******note – we do not expect any one volunteer to provide everything on this list, pick one or two things

• Gloves

• Lopper/Pruner (with your name on them)
• Hand saw (non-power like a bow saw or folding saw) and small Axe/Hatchet
• Hoe (both traditional & rogue) / Shovel (spade & square)
• Pulaski / Mattock
• Mcleod
• Rake (leaf and garden rake)
• Wheelbarrow

Project list:

• Depending on how many volunteers we have this is our list of projects in order of importance.
• Rake out drains on all trails
• This is an ongoing project to keep the new trails in good repair.
• Rock armor low wet spot on upper lot north entrance.
• That north trailhead is unfortunately where most of the water drains for the upper parking lot. This will require a lot of rock moving.
• Touch up on new staircase. Likely first couple of years of stairs will need periodic maintenance like this.
• Older trail reclamation
• Some older trails that were shut down permanently (like the blue trail next to Zingo, the old yellow trail that went from upper lot to ridge/point, the old west entrance on upper parking lot near driveway) are starting to get “reopened” by folks and we need to go in and rebrush them and reclaim them.
• Additionally if any families or groups wish to just come out and pick up litter we will gladly set them to work too!
• If you have any questions please contact Bobby, Eric or Peter
