The Accel Triathlon - July 18th - Refunding Registered Athletes!
Quote | Reply
Quick note for other race directors.

Yesterday we made the decision to close our registration, refund those who where already registered and now 'pause' and see what it would like to race on July 18th. If we are able to, we are going to offer a grass roots race (no shirt, medal, flash etc.) … thus far we've received a great response!

Wanted to share as an example if any other RD's were considering going this route. We hadn't accrued our sunk costs yet so made sense for all.

Memo attached.

Cheers!

Thanks JBalady2! We will see how it all plays out!

The pause has been nice to think about even more of the little things that make a great race special. Hope to have you join us again sometime!

Man it will be awesome if this race takes place. It will be my first tri of this season. 3 have now been cancelled or postponed. Love the accel triathlon. I have only missed one event since it first took place and that was last year. Fingers crossed!
