Be the Heartbeat of the Race

"The volunteer spirit is the fuel that drives the engine of our community."

Join the Mission: Volunteer at Beat the Base 2026

The success of the Beat the Base Triathlon relies entirely on the energy and dedication of our volunteers. You are the backbone of this event. Your support is what enables us to achieve our three core missions:

  1. Supporting Our Troops: Maximizing our donation to Soldier On, directly aiding the recovery of ill and injured veterans.

  2. Promoting Fitness: Fostering a culture of health and wellness at CFB Edmonton and within the greater St. Albert community.

  3. Building Community: Bringing military personnel and civilians together for an unforgettable day of camaraderie.
