2021 SUBARU SERIES UPDATE
The Subaru Triathlon Series team would like to continue to thank you, our great athletes and partners, for your ongoing patience, support and flexibility over the past 15 months. We have all been impacted by Covid-19 in different ways and while the return to racing continues to get closer, the exact date of that return is unclear. We are writing today to provide an update on the status of our season due to the most recent government reopening announcement on May 20th. Details can be found here: https://www.ontario.ca/page/reopening-ontario#section-5
While it gives us a little bit of clarity and a timeframe to work towards, we still don’t know if we will be able to return to racing in Step 2 or Step 3. There will be gathering limits imposed in both stages, but at this time it is not clear what those will be. We have sent emails to government officials at all levels, up to the Premier to try and get some clarity. So, for now, we will keep Niagara as the first race on our schedule, awaiting clarification. The earliest Ontario will move into step 2 would be July 5th and Step 3, based on the minimum 21 days at each stage, would be July 26th. With this, our season will be adjusted as follows:
Guelph Lake 1: June 19/20 - Cancelled
Niagara: July 25 – Will keep this on the schedule for now until we get some clarity on reopening steps
Guelph Lake 2: August 14/15 – This event would mimic our “usual” GL1 event with an Olympic and TAT on Saturday and Sprint on Sunday.
Milton: September 4
Owen Sound: September 12
We will be sending out dedicated emails to those in any of the cancelled events with their options shortly. We appreciate the patience of everyone as we feel we are getting closer to in person racing again.
All the best,
Nick, Dave and the Trisport Team
