I'm in the same boat.. never got the first email and haven't heard anything about reschedule or transfer options.

Have you verified your email is "subscribed" in your profile preferences. I wasn't getting emails either and had to go back into my profile an subscribe to ALL communication from IM. Obviously they doesn't help right now but it should fix it going forward. Here is the text of the email they blasted out on 3/16:

Dear IRONMAN Texas Athlete,

After a challenging 2020 which saw numerous sporting events cancelled around the world, our teams have been hard at work to prepare safe and enjoyable in-person events for our athletes in 2021, including the IRONMAN Texas triathlon.

We have learned from both Harris County and Harris County Toll Road Authority that due to the Harris County COVID-19 Threat Level System currently at Level 1: Stay Home, and the resulting impact this has on the bike course, we regret to inform you that the IRONMAN Texas triathlon cannot take place on April 24, 2021.

This is not the news any of us wanted to receive especially after the challenges faced over the past year, and we are working diligently with the local authorities and key stakeholders on all potential options. We know how anxious our athletes are to be able to return to racing and we hope to have further event updates for you in early April.

With the support of our host communities, it remains our top priority to deliver the excellent and safe race experiences our athletes deserve. Our teams are continuing their hard work with local authorities and agencies and are hopeful to have a good solution in place for IRONMAN Texas to take place in The Woodlands during October 2021 that meets local community objectives.

We encourage you to keep your training up and the motivation going by joining us on the Free IRONMAN Virtual Club platform!

If you have additional questions, please contact texas@ironman.com.

Thank you for your ongoing patience and support. We look forward to welcoming you back to The Woodlands with a great event in the future.

The IRONMAN Texas Team

I'm in the exact same position. Never received notice on the initial cancellation and nothing since. Glad I was stalking Slowtwitch.

Waco is now a full Ironman?

.

Once, I was fast. But I got over it.

I'm not seeing that IM Waco on the 23rd was previously listed as a race. Will this be a whole new one?

For me, I'll probably just let my registration roll over to the new October 9th date. Not sure whether I'll have the time to keep training for that one though. Work/Family will probably take priority. I hate just wasting the money and not racing, but it was a risk I knew when I signed up for the April event.

Waco 70.3 is scheduled for Sunday the 24th. Looks like they're adding a full for the Saturday before now.

That's it and most likely noon start for 70.3 on Sunday.
