With almost everything being cancelled this year (in the US at least,) why are clubs, friends, FB groups not popping out unsanctioned, free "races?" My friend organized one a few years ago, see here https://kancman.wordpress.com/
no permits, no fees, on your own support, and totally back to the roots of Tri vibe. social distancing wouldn't be a problem, and its not really a mass start when its just 10-20 of your friends.... Why is this not happening all over the place right now? (besides the obvious global pandemic thing)

Older athletes who've been racing a long time and are somewhat worried about catching COVID are discovering that they can enjoy a summer without racing, while younger athletes who never experienced the roots of tri vibe and are used to doing highly-produced events aren't very motivated to create or find small, local unsanctioned races, at least tris?
