Re: Ironman Syracuse 70.3 Discontinued [70Trigirl]

Aw that is so disappointing. I did Syracuse this year and thought it was an excellent, well organized race. It was very hot, but it's a crap shoot with weather in the Northeast. I loved the swim and the challenging yet beautiful bike course. And the run course was hard but fair. The volunteers were amazing being in that hot sun all day. I am sad about this race going away. It was a good one and will be missed! And it was the perfect training race for Lake Placid and other late summer Ironmans.

As a finance/cost accountant person I wonder how many participants it takes to break even and be profitable for WTC. Each race has different overhead and variable costs (depending on the location/country), but I'd love to know more about this. (i'm a geek)

Does anyone know of other races that WTC might be setting up in the Northeast for the future? Any rumors of new races? :-)[/quote]

I think the obvious choice and the "perfect training race" for Lake Placid would be Lake Placid 70.3 in this June spot in 2019.

I know when this was discussed in another Syracuse 703 thread and the weather in Lake Placid is always a concern, but I would rather do the 70.3 in Lake Placid in mid-June, then in early September as it is now scheduled.
