That’s a very good question about the powers a governor has to cancel an event like Oceanside 70.3

It’s an executive order requiring local health authorities to act to protect public health. The permits for the race are from the city of Oceanside and US Marine Camp Pendleton, so they can withdraw permission citing the local health emergency. San Diego County is probably also involved somehow.

Here is the executive order:

Just heard from a friend who's in PR for the 70.3 that there's talks of postponing / cancelling the race there. Still, there's no official communication yet.

This information is also in the comments on 70.3 Puerto Rico Facebook page. It seems that the PR Governor issued a statement that all events and gatherings of 250 or more should be postponed or cancelled. It also seems that IM has sent an email to volunteers and athletes.

It looks like CA Gov. Gavin Newsom will call for a moratorium of any public event drawing more than 250 people in one place.

If I was in CA, I could take my old band on tour, 'cuz we'd NEVER draw that many people

Ya, not endurance related, but in keeping with the OP, you could say that the March madness tourney is kind of like the TDF. Not every day for each team, but if you make it to the final, you played a lot of games that month. At any rate, this is probably the biggest thing going on in the US at this time of year. Certainly the folks that take bets for a living, are going to see a giant hole in their business.

Nothing is safe now, and like Halvard in his little country that has shut down everything, we will not be far behind it appears.

Messick's statement here is pretty mindboggling. "Athlete density will be decreased by increasing individual race space staging, corrals, etc". The guy is clueless.

Next races on the schedule: none at the moment

It’s incredibly tone deaf. Let’s face it, not one of these races scheduled in the next couple of months is going to happen and likely much longer than that.

The Cactus Cup stage race scheduled for this weekend in Phoenix is postponed because, unusually for here, we are having 4 straight days of heavy rain. It has been re-scheduled for April 3-5 but most likely won't happen.

My favorite was "Athletes will be allowed to pick up their athlete race kit/race bib and immediately exit expo area." Wait, I'm not going to have to walk by the M-Dot cake pans and barbecue kits?! What a generous sacrifice, Ironman, and all to protect my health. Lol!

And what does canceled "due to the local health authorities" mean? Far as I know, the races are canceling themselves. Strict reading of this only gives benefits if they are forced to cancel, not choose to

and IM PR 70.3 is imminent. People on site and race captains have been notified that it's cancelled. No official e-mail yet...but the FB group (*per my wife-I'm socially inept) says so...

I just got the official e-mail of postponement.

Well Superseal website says it is cancelled.This is an Ironman brand and there will be way less people here compared to Oceanside. So only logical conclusion is Oceanside will be cancelled. I'm sure they are just waiting till last minute so some chumps will still sign up for a charity slot. I’m getting robbed big time between Ironman and the markets.
