The 15th Annual Reston Sprint Triathlon has been re-scheduled for Sunday, August 15 Thanks to all for the overwhelming response we received from our recent athlete and volunteer surveys. Many of you shared concerns about vaccinations, social distancing, and COVID protocol restrictions. Considering the safety of our athletes, volunteers, and spectators, the RST Board has decided to move the race to the pre-planned COVID-19 backup date of August 15th.
We feel confident that the new date is in the best interest of our loyal athletes and wonderful supporters. We look forward to delivering an outstanding event for our 15th Annual Reston Sprint Triathlon.
As previously advertised, all pre-registered athletes have been automatically moved to the August 15th date and will receive an updated registration confirmation email tomorrow. No further action is required on your part.
Doug Bushée, RST / CORE Foundation Founder and Chairman, wants the RST Family to know that, "We went through a diligent process where we worked with local governing bodies, watched the State guidelines, and worked with USAT. We listened to the voice of the athletes and the voice of the volunteers. And, after all that debate and deliberation, we feel that the best date to provide the most normal experience for our athletes where they are prepared and trained to race in our 15th annual event is August 15th."
We can't wait to see our RST Family in August!
