After a year away from producing the Niantic Bay
Triathlon and the Women's Triathlon,
we are so ready to get back to it this summer!
As with all of our 2021 race planning efforts, a ton of attention to
detail is being paid to public safety.
Triathlons are innately complex events with a balance of timing, traffic
flows and lots of measures to make them smooth and safe for participants,
volunteers and spectators in a typical year.
This year, expect the return of those efforts with the added level of
COVID-19 mitigation strategies to spread out participants and reduce contact
points.
Those necessary efforts will force us to reduce capacity,
which directly impacts the budget to produce both of the triathlon events. This doesn't mean services will be skimped on
or swag will disappear, we remain committed to provide the high quality
experience you have come to expect from HMF.
It will, however, prevent us from providing any group or specialty
discounts or extending deep discounted registration-opening prices. Late
registration will come at a premium so register early to secure your spot in
the limited field.
We are hopeful as the weeks and months move on, a sense of
normalcy will settle back in and that race planning can again inspire big goals
to achieve. Quiet weekends at home give way to squeezing in days of double training
time around work travel obligations or the packed schedules of busy families once
again. The way it should be.
