Challenge Family and local event organizers The Event Crew, are announcing the cancellation of the 2015 Challenge Gold Coast event, set to be held on 30 August 2015.
Following the successful debut of the event last year, ‘the current economic climate has shifted and despite the best efforts of The Event Crew there were some insurmountable challenges that simply could not be resolved ahead of this year’s event.’
A release from the Challenge Gold Coast team adds that a Challenge Family event is held to the highest standard across all platforms and at this time it would not be economically and administratively responsible to keep the event on the calendar. ‘The priority has always been to ensure the best athlete experience while employing best business practices which it cannot deliver this year without adequate funding.’
Over the coming 12 months the organising team will work hard on rectifying the issues in the hope that the event will be a viable option for 2016.
Participants who have already entered the event and additional Gold Coast Multisport Festival events have been contacted and the organisers are in the process of providing full refunds on their entry fees.
