Really, no surprise. The local area (I live here) is becoming more of a Covid hotspot every day. Here is the email I received from Ironman this afternoon. Note that you can still defer to a handful of 2020 races. Will they happen? Who knows... Note that an option is to apply entry fees from to 70.3 to the Coeur d'Alene full Ironman next June.
When we postponed the IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d’Alene triathlon from its original date of June 28 to September 6, 2020, we felt confident we would still be able to deliver an exceptional event at the later date.
Unfortunately, based on further conversations with and direction from local authorities in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the health and safety of our community being an utmost priority, the IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d’Alene triathlon cannot take place in 2020.
As previously announced, the Coeur d’Alene community will host a full-distance IRONMAN on June 27, 2021.
To provide all registered athletes of the 2020 IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d’Alene triathlon an ability to participate in an IRONMAN event this year or next, we have made the following options available:
1. Free transfer to 2020 IRONMAN 70.3 Atlantic City: Sept. 13, 2020
