IRONMAN has confirmed the cancellation of the rescheduled IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d’Alene in Idaho. The event organising team issued the following statement…
‘When we postponed the IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d’Alene triathlon from its original date of June 28 to September 6, 2020, we felt confident we would still be able to deliver an exceptional event at the later date.
‘Unfortunately, based on further conversations with and direction from local authorities in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the health and safety of our community being an utmost priority, the IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d’Alene triathlon cannot take place in 2020. All registered athletes of the 2020 IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d’Alene triathlon will be receiving an email with further information.
‘In what has been a continually evolving and challenging time globally, we thank our athletes for their commitment and look forward to providing them with an exceptional race experience in the future.’
Details of next year’s event are expected to follow, with 2021 scheduled to see the return of full distance racing in Idaho.
In November 2019, IRONMAN announced that the city of Coeur d’Alene, will play host to a full-distance IRONMAN triathlon on Sunday, June 27, 2021. This is as part of a renewed multi-year host venue agreement.
It was also announced that IRONMAN Coeur d’Alene will serve as the second location of a rotating IRONMAN branded event for 2021, with the event shifting back to an IRONMAN 70.3 triathlon in 2022 and 2023.
