Date for Kansas 70.3?
Quote | Reply
Why don't they have the date up for IM Kansas 70.3 yet? Most other 70.3s have their dates up, and some may fill soon. I'd like to work out my calendar for next year. I know this year's date, and right now I'm assuming it will be about the same.

Moving to St L would actually be great for me as I have family there. I just hope it's not East St L.

Do you have any idea when it would be in St. Louis? About the same date, or completely different?

Man, just for a moment I got to feel like KC was on the up & up, Royals headed to the World Series and all.
It was a nice moment.

If it moves that will be a bummer for me. I had the race on my to do list. I love Lawrence and I don't get the chance to get back there much anymore.

Looks like a non-WTC race June 7, 2015 with 4 distances. Sprint, Olympic, Half and 100 (2, 80, 18)

Already signed up for the 100. The group that is running it, Silverback, put on a great race and do it for a great price. They have given away free races to us loyal locals, which is unheard of! Go support this race on the same course as the Kansas 70.3.

Agreed. Lived in Lawrence for a while and spent A LOT of time in my highschool and early college days in that city. Was always looking at a way to make this race fit in my schedule since my whole family and most of my friends are still in the KC area. While it might not be a WTC race any longer its nice to know there are still options.

Yea, I'd love to know too. GREAT prices, and I loved the old KS 70.3 course!

Kansas 70.3 will not be happening on it's usual date as the Legend Tri is taking place at Clinton Lake on June 7, 2015 and is only $100 for the half. Check out www.legendtri.com.

Rumor is that St Louis 70.3 is replacing Kansas 70.3 and occuring the same weekend.

Bringing a date would slow me down and my wife wouldn't like it.

Not sure what your club channels are, or what you mean by replacement, but there is this:

Also, still strong rumors circulating that a WTC 70.3 will take place in STL. Legends race is the same venue as KS 70.3.

I meant no WTC replacement in 2015 in the region.
There's the WTC tri club program and we received this info this morning.

"Guys - just want to confirm the rumors - may of you already know - but IRONMAN 70.3 Kansas will not take place this year and at this point in time we do not have plans for adding another race in the area until most likely 2016. IRONMAN 70.3 Boulder, IRONMAN 70.3 Racine, IRONMAN 70.3 Muncie, IRONMAN 70.3 Steelhead and IRONMAN 70.3 Texas are good alternatives. We will have a TriClub program this year at IRONMAN 70.3 Racine. Of course IRONMAN 70-.3 Texas is always a HUGE club event. Boulder is filling much faster than last year. Just a heads up."


*Note: The bolded red text was clarified in a later post to be 2015

Interesting. There were some city council type meetings that were taking place any day, so perhaps those happened and it was a "no-go".

I think it is great that the old course will still have a race on it. Best group destination ever. Camped for the race with a bunch of friends a few years back. Great time and venue. I hope the new RD can get some traction before WTC comes in and uses the same date in St. Louis.

Keep Moving Forward

The date that is being circulated within the St. Louis region is June 7, 2015; the former weekend held by Kansas 70.3. Communities within St. Louis County must commit by Thanksgiving to back this race, yet WTC is entertaining proposals from several other potential host cities/communities. With what is going on in St. Louis right now, I would think that WTC would be trying to avoid it at all costs. Other major sporting/art/convention events within the region have already canceled their dates into late 2015. It really is a sad state of affairs, and therefore if you would like to race in early June, I would suggest doing the new event in Lawrence or registering for another IM70.3 that fits your lifestyle, since I personally doubt STL will happen.
