IRONMAN has been forced to cancel IRONMAN North American Championship St George 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The event was originally scheduled for May 2, 2020 – and was subsequently planned for September 19, 2020. Yet, sadly, the continuing challenge of Covid-19 has forced the cancellation of this year’s event.
IRONMAN has issued a statement about the event cancellation, reiterating its commitment to hosting future events in the St George, Utah, area…
When we postponed the IRONMAN North American Championship St George triathlon from its original date of May 2, 2020 to September 19, 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, including medical, health and safety leaders in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in the best interest of our IRONMAN community and the local communities, the IRONMAN North American Championship St George cannot take place in 2020.
In what has been a continually evolving and challenging time globally, we recognize that this may come as a disappointment, but assure you that our commitment to our athletes and the success of our sport is stronger than ever.
Our partnership with St George remains strong and we are scheduled to hold six races from 2021-2025. These races will include the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in 2021, two IRONMAN North American Championships and three IRONMAN 70.3 North American Championships.
All registered athletes of the 2020 IRONMAN North American Championship St George triathlon will be receiving an email with further information.
