No Tremblant 5i50 in 2015?
Quote | Reply
Just saw the list of 5i50 races for 2015, and tremblant wasn't on it. Bummer, this was going to be one of my top picks next year! Anybody know details? Should I hold out hope that they'll add it later?

Maybe it will be back under the Triathlon Quebec banner. 5150 seems like a disaster and think a lot of these races are going back to independent. The Olympic distance races existed long before 5150

Interesting... I've never done a WTC-branded Oly distance race. But I really enjoyed the Tremblant 70.3. What about 5150 is a disaster?

Where did you get the list of 2015 races from? I didn't think it had been confirmed yet. Cody and I spoke to the RD at MT5150 this year and he seemed certain the race will be on in some capacity in 2015.

I'm pretty sure based on the intel I've gotten from inside WTC that WTC and PEM are meeting today (Oct 1) to discuss/determine the future of the 5150 series.

I think it'll head in a different direction, WTC hasn't proven to be very capable in growing the series. Many of the long term iconic races have become shells of themselves since falling under the WTC banner. WTC just doesn't do short course racing well.

5150 is the red headed stepchild of WTC, I have a feeling if they can get rid of it they will. I cannot see how it is profitable for them unless they do them at the same time as their larger races.
