Spaghetti Dinner

Pre-Race Orientation & Spaghetti Dinner

Come join us Friday, September 11th from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for some pre-race activities.

  • Spaghetti Dinner: Come carb-load for your big race! Reserve your plate now for $10 per person. Includes spaghetti (with or without meat), a side salad, a slice of garlic bread, a bottle of water, and a chocolate chip cookie. Additional drinks and desserts available for sale at the event.
  • Pre-Race Orientation: Volunteers will be on site and around the course to answer questions about the race. Where should I park? Where is the finish line? Where do I stage my gear for the transitions? How does the timing chip work? Etc. Take a walk and familiarize yourself with the course. Every little bit of preparation helps with race-day nerves!
  • If you ordered a shirt when you registered, you can pick it up Friday night and/or buy more (while supplies last).

The Spaghetti dinner is free for all Diamond Kid volunteers! Head over to our Volunteer page to sign up.

Don’t forget to add your Diamond Kid Triathlon t-shirt to your cart! If you buy it now, you will be sure to get one. Additional shirts will be available race-day but only while supplies last.
