Organisers of this year's Jersey Triathlon are urgently seeking more volunteers.

The event is taking place on Sunday 7 July and will see 400 competitors go head to head for its 11th year.

Officials say that "without support from marshals, this event would not be able to operate".

They are asking anyone who is free on Sunday morning to volunteer.

The volunteers do not need any experience and will be provided with full instructions.

The participants will begin and finish at Les Jardins de la Mer in St Helier.

They will swim 1,500 metres in front of Elizabeth Castle before a 40 kilometre bike ride out to the west of the island and then conclude with a 10 kilometre running course on Jersey's Waterfront.

More information on how to sign up as a volunteer can be found here.
