Inaugural 2012 Ironman 70.3 National Harbor Cancelled
Nearly four months after a new Ironman 70.3 triathlon in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area was announced comes word that the event has been CANCELLED!
The inaugural Ironman 70.3 National Harbor which set to take place just 3 months from now was cancelled by Washington Sports & Event Management (WSEM), the race organizer.
"Dear Ironman 70.3 National Harbor Athlete,
The inaugural Ironman 70.3 National Harbor Triathlon has been cancelled. Athletes registered for the event will receive a full refund of their entry and processing fees.
Refunds will be issued within 30 days and will be credited to the card used for registration through the Active Network."
Ironman is committed to helping participants reach their goal of racing an Ironman 70.3 in 2012 and will further offer each athlete impacted by the cancellation a $50 discount to several other Ironman 70.3 races:
This is the second triathlon event in Washington DC Metropolitan Area to be cancelled by WSEM this year, the other race was the Washington DC Triathlon. The event cancellation was related to the National Park Service denying a permit for the race. Not sure what the reason is for the Ironman 70.3 cancellation.
