Just got an email from Rev3:
For the past 3 months we have called schools, non-profit groups, teams, and many other organizations offering a substantial a volunteer monetary donation program and sadly we came up far too short. We made a last ditched effort to email all of you. We are sad to say that we cannot find enough volunteers (we are currently at only about 20% of our minimums) to be able to put on the Rev3 New England event this year. We are hoping that the lack of turnout is from costs of travel, other events in the area, or some anomaly which would not prevent us from holding the event in the future. We hope to re-visit the calendar, not only of REV3, but also of the Webster Community, in hopes that we can find a date better suited for the event in 2023.
We wanted to let you know that the decision has been made to cancel the event for 2022. We feel that we have exhausted every possible scenario to recruit volunteers. We are hoping, with over two weeks of notice, that you will be able to cancel any travel plans that you may have had or make arrangements to move towards another goal race. We will be offering full refunds on the cost of registration. We are not able to offer refunds on the USA Triathlon memberships, as that money was sent to USA Triathlon.
We would LOVE to have you and another REV3 event. We will have another weekend of triathlon festivities at Williamsburg, VA the weekend of July 9th and 10th. Williamsburg is a great destination race as there is so much to do in the area such as Jamestown, Yorktown, Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens! If you’d like to transfer your registration to the Williamsburg weekend, please let us know by Thursday, May 19. Simply email info@rev3tri.com to let us know if you want the transfer and we will take care of you at no cost. All refunds for the 2022 REV3 New England race will begin processing on Friday, May 20. This may take up to 10 business days to see the refund on your credit card.
Again, we apologize for having to make this decision. With our current lack of volunteers, we would not be able to provide you with a safe, and supported, event for the 2022 season. We know that this is disappointing, but we hope that you understand.
Should you have any specific questions about your refund, or transferring to the Rev3 Williamsburg event, please reach out to us at info@Rev3Tri.com and we will attempt to answer your question.
Stay safe, and be well!That's a bummer.

Greetings Rev3 New England registered triathlete. We at Revolution3 wanted to reach out to you and give you an update on the Rev3 New England event, currently scheduled for Friday, June 3rd through Sunday, June 5th. Last week you should have received an email asking for your assistance in helping us to find volunteers. As you know these events can’t happen without a team of volunteers. They provide safety in the water, bike, and run courses. They supply water and supplies at the aid stations, support packet pickup, put a medal around your neck and so much more. For the past 3 months we have called schools, non-profit groups, teams, and many other organizations offering a substantial a volunteer monetary donation program and sadly we came up far too short.
