Does IM really have their shit together such as permits, volunteers, etc., to hold these moved races this fall? Are they just giving us false hope and actually planning to move them to 2021, or are these new race dates realistic?
I'm signed up for IM 70.3 Des Moines at the end of June. I'm resigned to the fact that this race will almost certainly be moved to 2021. As of now, it's still on, but I'm sure IM plans to move it to the fall. I just don't see them having the permits and community support (volunteers) to launch this fall. Remember a lot of the vokunteers are retirees and young kids. This COVID-19 could put a serious monkey wrench into IM's logistics going forward. As a parent are you really letting your kids out there at aid stations this fall? If you're retired are you willing to have a bunch of randos sling fluids around your vicinity in a few months? My guess is no.
