The City of Redding is urging local residents to volunteer their support during a triathlon coming to the area this Summer. Around 2,500 athletes are expected to participate in “Ironman 70.3 Northern California” on Sunday, August 16th. It’ll start with a swim in Whiskeytown Lake, followed by a biking and running course. It’s expected to bring about $10 Million of economic impact for local businesses. 1,000 volunteers will be needed to help make it possible. Registration can be done at ironman.com.
