You realize this is proposal right? Not a statement?

This will escalate quickly ...

If IronmanTM proposed this, they want to move the race no matter what....and Santa Rosa is just one viable option...
as fierce IronmanTM critic, i would sign up in a heart beat.....(i mean it's not that i am running for Pres or any).

The host venue agreement has the 70.3 on May 13th for 2017 then moving to late July through 2021. The Ironman race is scheduled for July 29th 2017 and then moving to mid May for the final four years of the contract.

Thanks dwreal. It's pretty obvious then that Guerneville will not be hosting in 2017 should this proposal go through, and even if it doesn't get approved, there's some major doubt about the venue rolling into 2017. Oh the speculation!

Mid May would be a winner! Americans would have a choice between Texas in April and Santa Rosa in May ... or a buffet of races between August to November.

Wildflower early May. Auburn mid May. So, lots of races in the May timeframe.

Feels like this either assumes that Wildflower is going to end (there have been rumors), or an attempt to kill it off.

With the venue issues WF has been having coupled with another CA-based HIM a few weeks later, this would be quite hard for WF to weather.

Not sure how you have the swim at Lake Sonoma and the "venue" at Julliard Park in downtown Santa Rosa? Lake Sonoma is a great place to swim but access is very difficult and very limited parking. They used to have a tri up there years ago called the IceBreaker. If they can figure out a way it would be cool but only large parking or staging area is a LONG way up a dirt trail or launch ramp and access road.

Julliard Park is filled with homeless and druggies...what a great choice!
