Contributions.The Reston Triathlon, now in its 25th year, is a non-profit organization run by a board of directors composed entirely of volunteers. For safety and success, the race relies on local volunteers and organizations, including local boy and girl scout troops, high school track teams, police, medical and other personnel. A portion of each athlete's registration fee is donated to these groups to thank them for their efforts. If you would like to show your support for our local volunteers by donating an additional sum at registration you may click to designate a special gift for those groups.
