IRONMAN has confirmed that this coming Sunday’s IRONMAN 70.3 Texas event cannot take place – due to the continued spread of Covid-19 in Texas.
This follows the cancellation of the rescheduled IRONMAN Texas and IRONMAN 70.3 Waco events, which were due to be held on the same weekend in October. In addition, IRONMAN 70.3 Lubbock in June was also forced to cancel due to Covid-19
The organising team has released a statement.
We regret to announce that the 2020 IRONMAN 70.3 Texas triathlon cannot take place on November 22 due to the elevated public safety alert that is in effect for Harris County, in addition to the stay at home orders and recommendations for Dallas, Travis, and other surrounding counties based upon the continued acceleration of COVID-19 infections in Texas. The IRONMAN 70.3 Texas triathlon will now return on April 11, 2021.
All registered athletes of the 2020 IRONMAN 70.3 Texas triathlon will be receiving an email with further information. While we are prevented from holding the event in 2020, we thank our athletes for their understanding at this late juncture and look forward to providing them with an exceptional race experience in the future.
