So G-Man is going to get on here and tell you zero percent odds (surprised he hasn’t!). Some other people will disagree with him and give some reasons why it might happen. This thread will go off-topic, turn political, people will start calling each other names. Blah, blah, blah ... there are a thousand threads that are all the same, just the race being discussed is different ... my two cents: unless you have a crystal ball or the race has already been canceled then nobody knows, but the odds are *really* low and I would plan accordingly.

No way this or any other races are going to happen. Hell they cancelled Kona. This was their way of saying 2020 is null and void. Why do people keep asking about races??

They cancelled Chattanooga and right now Shelby County is a hotter hot spot than Chattanooga area. see stats here. https://www.tn.gov/...cedep/ncov/data.html

Zero chance //

In a very slow and drawn out voice, zero.....point.....zero....

....and.....here we go again!

Kona was canceled because of the huge lead time....months.... IM needs to pull it off logistically. My guess is that they only need that magic 45 days lead time for a 70.3.

To the OP's question......my guess is zero.

that made my week...LMAO!

GMAN undoubtedly has low motivation to stay in shape, which is why he’s determined to drain every ounce of motivation out of everyone else. I’m signed up for Memphis and am sorta training for it. Probably won’t happen but who knows.

Brilliant analysis. How is me being realistic about the situation draining anyone else’s motivation to train? I’m not your life coach.

So if racing doesn't happen, you become a couch potato?

I don’t. Many do.

I live about 30 miles away from Memphis and am currently signed up. Based off what I have been told form the endurance community in Memphis is there is no chance it happens this year.

It’s my fault. Haven’t you been paying attention? 🤪

This a time for fun trail running and exploring new roads on a road bike.

You need to be more hopeful......the people want this...the local economy needs this........I heard a little league baseball game was allowed.....this is how our state rolls......... ;)

Unfortunately just because a race could or should
Happen doesn’t mean it will. Politics and all. 😫

Or, perhaps races are being cancelled for the public good, as a way to lessen the impact of a once-in-a-lifetime (I hope) global event. I'd suggest that hosting a race is a political statement against the social contract that seeks the betterment of as many people as possible.[/quote]
“For the public good” is a very scary statement. As determined by who? The government? Government knows best 😂. Plenty of medical experts are screaming at the top of their lungs that our reaction to this is much more harmful than the disease itself. Which I agree with personally.

“Public good” is truly eye roll worthy 🙄
