Three legs, two transitions, water safety and a run course — staffed by people who need to know which leg they're briefing for. mrshl builds each leg separately, staffs transition properly, and briefs every volunteer for their own position and timings.
Sprint distance or full iron — the same four steps, whatever the field size.
01
Add the swim, bike and run as their own races — GPX for the bike and run, and a no-route leg for the swim — each with its own start time and pace bands.
02
Pin T1, T2, swim start, swim exit, wetsuit strip, mount and dismount lines, then add the crews each needs with the roles you actually use.
03
Drop marshals on every bike junction and run-leg aid station, with arrival windows worked out per leg so nobody is left standing before the field reaches them.
04
Full briefs the night before with position, timings, access and water-safety instructions; lanyard cards handed out at check-in on the morning.
Yes. Mark a leg as having no route file and it still gets its own start time, pace bands and positions — so swim start, swim exit and wetsuit strip crews are scheduled and briefed like everything else.
Transition is a set of positions rather than one: T1 and T2 entry and exit, mount and dismount lines, rack stewards and bike check. Pin each one, set its headcount and shift times, and the roster shows exactly which of them is still short.
Each leg has its own start time and expected fast and slow paces, so mrshl calculates when athletes reach a position on that specific leg. A marshal at a run-leg aid station gets run-leg timings, not bike-leg ones.
Yes. Build a role-specific sign-up form with the questions and consent boxes you need — including declarations and file uploads for qualifications — and each submission stores the exact questions that volunteer was shown.
Yes — a volunteer can hold several shifts across the day, and you're warned if two of them clash, so the person doing swim exit at 07:00 and T2 at 10:30 is scheduled without a collision.
No. Clone the whole event — legs, positions, shifts, roles and forms — then bring back the volunteers you want from your pool.
