The annual Sharon Triathlon is sold out, yet needs more people.
More volunteers are needed for Sunday's swim, bike and run at Lake Massapoag, says Max Performance Race Director Tim Richmond.
All volunteers can raise money for their cause, and receive a technical race shirt, he says. Interested readers should e-mail volunteers@maxperformanceonline.com.

The Rotary Club of Sharon is volunteering at the Sprint Triathlon, which starts at 8 a.m. at Memorial Park Beach, Richmond says. The proceeds benefit the Sharon Recreation Department.
About 550 athletes -- the event's maximum -- have registered, Richmond says.

The co-ed contest starts with a half-mile swim, followed by a 12.3-mile bike ride and a 4.4-mile run.
"I think people that come to visit Sharon are mostly drawn in by the beauty of the course," he says.
Spectators should plan to arrive by 7:30 a.m., Richmond says.

A barbecue for the athletes will follow the race, Richmond says.
