Volunteer Spirit: The Heart of the Race with Janie Langford

Over the past two decades, Jane has immersed herself in the world of triathlons, dedicating an astounding 19 years to the crucial work of volunteer coordination. Hear her remarkable evolution from conquering finish lines herself to becoming the unsung hero behind countless others, offering a unique perspective on how these incredible events are built through the passion and dedication of volunteers.
Jane pulls back the curtain on the demanding yet rewarding world of race organization, vividly sharing the challenges of her own first half-Ironman and the invaluable lessons learned that now guide her work in bringing seamless events to life.

From the inspiring stories of ROTC students who consistently lend a hand to the unwavering support of her beloved 90-year-old mother, Ms. Marylin – affectionately known as the “Mayor” of their multisport family – you'll witness the threads that bind this world together.
