Good morning Triathlete,

     Thank you for thinking and trusting our Test! 

We simply wanted to inform you, with 2 months to go before the test, that everything continues according to the established channels and we continue to work hard together with the authorities, in order to offer you the best possible race within the Covid possibilities and regulations. We all see how the situation is changing (progress of vaccination, end of the state of alarm on May 9, how the autonomous communities are going to regulate from there, differentiation between federated and non-federated sports, etc.). We are all optimistic and we are excited to be able to enjoy the last weekend of June, the Seventh edition of the NWT, but this constant variability in rules and laws makes it difficult for us to communicate, as we would like, all the details of this edition.

The Northwest Triman is a national triathlon and also the Galician Championship, so it will be governed by the Protocol of the Triathlon Federation accepted by the authorities and with which all the Triathlon tests are being held at the national level. (Armored Headquarters, Rolling Start Departures, Bib Collection, Refreshments, etc…). In all editions we have always been able to organize the test in our own way, circuits, schedules, activities, post-finish, runner fair etc... and in this edition we will have to, as athletes that we are, adapt and comply with the established protocols and regulations that we carefully marked. 

Like every year, we will send you the Triathlete's guide by email with everything specified, this time we will have to wait for everything to be as definitive as possible. We will keep you informed on Facebook and on the test website, we encourage you to continue training hard and with all the enthusiasm and enthusiasm, we hope that we can see each other in Galicia safely and enjoy our sport!

An affectionate Trisaludo and above all a lot of Health!

Team N.W.T.

Good morning Triathlete,

The day has come to communicate what we would never have wanted, to cancel the 2020 edition of the Northwest Triman.

We have tried with all our might. We have seen the evolution of Covid-19, with the escalation that made us postpone the race, and the de-escalation that encouraged us to continue forward, we have been developing a health protocol for several weeks to guarantee the safety and contagion of Covid-19, we have received ok from the federation, we have seen the celebration of other events, but finally it will not be possible.

Due to the worsening of the situation, and as the pandemic is evolving, with more cases than ever in Galicia, the As Pontes Council has decided to cancel the event. Although it hurts us, we have to be understanding with the decision that the City Council has taken (We attach its Communiqué), respect it and abide by it.

For the 4 athletes who coordinate this event, today is not a good day. We have worked a lot this year, more than others, due to this situation, but what hurts us the most is to think of all the triathletes who have put their hopes into our career, have been training for a long time for it, with what it implies to level, family, work and economic standing at the starting line of a medium or long distance.

We apologize for keeping you on your toes all this time, but we had to try. 3 months ago we believed that this situation would not occur again, but it has not.

That is why to those registered in the 2020 edition of the Northwest Triman we propose these 2 alternatives:

• Maintain registration for June 27, 2021. You will automatically be on the final list for the new date, so you do not have to do anything.
• 100% refund of the registration fee. Although we would love it if you could keep your registration, those who do not like the new date, or who for any other reason, cannot or do not want to participate, will be refunded the full amount, responding to this same email between 1 to 30 September with your complete data, and we will respond to all of you individually.
• As usual, On October 1,(one day after the deadline to request a refund) we will open registrations in both distances to cover casualties that occur in September. The price will be €110 MD and €205 LD. In order not to harm those who registered outside the first day of the bonus period and paid €130 in MD and €225 in LD, and want to maintain their registration, €20 will be returned automatically, you should not do anything.

We hope that both you and your families are well, and we encourage you to continue training and enjoying our sport.

Affectionate greetings and much encouragement with the work that we all have ahead

☺️ Another important step, the Xunta through its General Secretariat for Sport, certifies the Covid Protocol of the Galician Triathlon Federation.

PROTOCOL OF ACTION FRONT AO COVID 19 OF THE GALICIAN FEDERATION OF MODERN TRIATHLON AND PENTATHLON ( FISICOVID-DXTgalego )

We start August with renewed energy, after the meeting with the Municipality of As Pontes. Your support and hard work in carrying out the most restrictive protocols possible to guarantee your safety and that of the residents of As Pontes, pushes us to continue! Let's hope that the Pandemic and its consequences allow us to celebrate the test with the minimum possible risk. Meanwhile we keep working to Tope!
Of course, if the test was not held, it was dueThe registration would be or the place would be saved for 2021, whichever you prefer, and as far as possible we would notify you as soon as possible!, although you see that it is impossible to foresee government decisions and also how the outbreaks evolve.
I encourage the Fegatri Galician Federation of Triathlon and Modern Pentathlon Y Spanish Triathlon Federation that in no time (August 22/23) they have to celebrate the Spanish Sprint Championship in our Community!!

In the event that it cannot be held for any reason (outbreaks etc…) the 100% is returned, whether or not you have insurance, just as we have done with the 300 casualties due to the date change ?.
WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU IN AS PONTES.
