IRONMAN North American Championship
St. George, UT – In a press release issued today, IRONMAN officials announced the complete cancelation of this year’s IRONMAN North American Championship in St. George, Utah.
Here is the official announcement.
When we postponed the 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 community and the local communities, the 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 World Championship in 2021, two championships, and three IRONMAN 70.3 North American Championships. All registered athletes of the 2020 North American Championship St. George triathlon will be receiving an email with further information.
