What exactly do you want them to say that would make you feel better? From the context of your post I gather that you are in the US. There is not another IM scheduled for the US until late March. There's no telling what the situation will be like then, especially in California.

If they were to say something, it's not exactly hard to predict what they would say given the way things have gone recently. Essentially they proceed as if the race is happening unless and until it is not. Sometimes they know far enough in advance to not surprise folks, sometimes they don't for reasons beyond their control. It sucks but it's the way things are right now.

Not sure what else there is to say?

“With COVID-19 infections on the rise around the United States, we are not comfortable hosting any further events in 2020,” said Andrew Messick, Ironman Group president and CEO. “While we remain confident that our Safe Return to Racing Guidelines will protect athletes, volunteers and staff, the public health environment at this moment is not conducive to any type of mass gatherings. We expect to be back in action for 2021 with events that follow guidelines and recommendations consistent with the expectations set by public health entities and our race communities.”

I'm pleased to read this, that Ironman is willing to cancel events due to C19 instead of relying on local authorities to make the call.

+1 on all 3 replies. Nothing more to say this year, hopefully they are taking the time to plan out the next year or just getting a break. I can imagine their customer service department has been working overtime this year.

I can imagine that most of their customer service department was let go.
