Sharing this sad news about the Denver Triathlon. If you were registered please read to understand what your option are for a refund. Don't wait!!! I'm sure there will be more info coming out because we are hearing negative comments over the donating the race fees. Again you must email them now.
Colorado Flooding & Athletes
Dear Triathletes and the supporting community,
In light of the massive Colorado flooding, and that many of our registrants hail from Boulder, Northern Colorado and other affected areas, we feel it difficult to hold the third annual Denver Triathlon as our thoughts have been with those that have been gravely affected. We believe that next weekend’s efforts would be better spent as a community of athletes helping our fellow Coloradans. It is with this in mind that the Denver Triathlon management team decided to cancel the race.
THE PLAN:
We are changing Sunday, September 22nd, from a day of racing, to a day of giving as we ask registered athletes to join us in volunteering that day. On behalf of our registered triathletes, we will also donate the remaining Denver Triathlon registration fees to the American Red Cross of Colorado*. We will be sending you opportunities for the triathlon community to volunteer in the cleanup effort along with the team here at the Denver Triathlon. Please watch for an email with more details and opportunities to sign up starting on Tuesday.
We hope that while this news may surprise you, you and your families will decide to join us in giving back to Colorado.
Kindly,
Chris Laskey
Denver Triathlon Race Director
