2020 Crescent City Tri & Du

Very sadly, the Triathlon must be cancelled for 2021. It will be postponed until next year.

The decision was based on too many unknowns. The Board received a City permit for operation in the pool and on the roads. However that permit would be reviewed in June, hence, it was not guaranteed. As the Fred Endert Pool is not yet open for lap swimming, we cannot be certain of renting it. We could fall back to a duathlon, but again that is dependent on City permit approval review. Running and timing a socially distance duathlon sounds simple but still offers too many unknowns and untried operations: where will the County stand in Covid tiers; even without food, ribbons and medals expenses, how would we afford our great timing company, Enmotive; sponsors and participant entry numbers would be lower; and the massive amount of pre-planning, sponsor requests, signups, and setups cannot be compressed into 6 weeks.

It was a very sad decision as everyone on the Board has started their personal triathlon journey here in town. We will, however, look forward to 2022. See you then!
