*UTT Volunteer Work
The UTT (UT-Triathlon) is the annual triathlon event on campus, and it was organized even before Aloha was founded. Since Aloha’s establishment, the UTT has always been organized by (former) members, and because we’re so closely involved, we participate and help as volunteers. It’s truly an amazing experience to contribute to such a large event for a day. You can take on various roles, such as course marshalling, guiding athletes into the transition zone, supplying other volunteers, and much more! After a wonderful day, we gather to enjoy a meal together, share our experiences, and look forward to the next edition!
**Bar Shifts
We take on bar shifts at the sports center on campus. During these shifts, we wear our beautiful orange shirts and help athletes who stop by for a drink at the sports center. It’s super fun to do this with fellow Alohanen or Alohennen! After your bar shift, you can write about your amazing experiences in our memory book, which also contains stories from before you even started studying. The best part is that a large portion of the profits goes to the association, so you’ll be directly supporting all the training sessions and fantastic activities within the club.
***Athlete License
The athlete license is required if you want to compete in division races with the D.S.T.V. Aloha and Triathlon Club Twente (TCT) team. It’s also beneficial if you plan to participate in at least three (recreational) races.
If you are having doubts about becoming a member, feel free to come to our trainings and get to know us better! You have the right to come to three trainings before you decide if you want to be a member. We hope to see you there!
