Once the period to unsubscribe is over, and calculate how many people are left on the waiting list, we already know that there are ENOUGH PLACES to reopen registrations in both distances MD: €130 and LD: €225 ☺️.
What day will they open? As always we want to be cautious and we will wait for the State of Alarm to end this month to communicate the exact date of Opening.
We will communicate it with time via the Web and RRSS, you will train hard! ?♂️?♀️
It's been 1 week since the announcement of the change of date to October 4 (we leave you the link below again). And we put a summary of everything you have asked us in case it can help someone else ☺️
– If the test could not be held on October 4 due to Covid-19, would the registration also be returned? YES
– Within the period that you have opened (until April 30 included) to notify that we cannot/want to participate in the newTo date, do you return all the money? IF YOU PAID EVERYTHING YOU PAID (Registration, 1-day license and cancellation insurance)
– Are you going to open registrations? On May 1 we will know how many places are free and our intention is to cover them, first with the waiting list and then by opening registrations. Of course, first we must see that the de-escalation continues. Although you already know that if it could not be held we would return the money as we have done now.
– From May 1, what is the cancellation policy?
Triathletes who have not requested cancellation in the exceptional return period (April 15-30), we understand that if they want to participate on October 4 and continue to have the same initial cancellation policy, simply extended. In other words, people who contracted cancellation insurance and continue to be registered may request cancellation and cancellation of registration until September 4 (the registration and one-day license would be returned to them). If they do not have it contracted, the 75% until July 4 and the 50% until August 4. (Of course, if it were not held due to Covid-19, everything would be returned)
We put the link to the statement again in case there is any straggler https://cutt.ly/Tt0SdC1
LOTS OF HEALTH AND ENCOURAGEMENT??♀️??
POSTPONEMENT NOTICE DUE TO COVID-19
Dear triathletes,
Given the successive extensions of the state of alarm and the uncertainty about when and how we will be able to return to living with a certain normality, we believe that we must anticipate, and responsibly communicate as soon as possible, the impossibility of being able to celebrate the Northwest Triman on June 28 before the lack of health, social and sports guarantees (the Fetri has communicated that it will not resume its competitions before July), since the health and safety of all of you and our community must now be the only priority.
After evaluating all the available dates, and agreeing with the different authorities of both the City Council, Traffic and the Galician Triathlon Federation, we have decided to postpone the race for the day 4th of October.
Of course, and how could it be otherwise, a period will be opened to request the Return of the 100% of the registration to all triathletes who cannot come on the new date, whether or not they have contracted cancellation insurance.
We believe that it is a suitable date, since we move it away as much as possible. In this way, and even putting ourselves in the situation that the confinement will be extended, we will have the whole summer to reset, plan our training calmly, and thoroughly prepare ourselves to enjoy the race.
We have also taken into account the weather statistics for recent years and for that particular day. The temperature of the water in the Lake on that date is always better, about 3 degrees, and the outside, wind and rain very similar to June.
For this to those registered in the 2020 edition of the Northwest Triman we propose these 2 alternatives:
- Keep registration for October 4. You will automatically be on the final list for the new date, so you do not have to do anything.
- Refund of the 100% of the registration fee and the one-day license. 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 of the registration, including the one-day license, since that service has not been used.
- For those who NO contracted the total Cancellation Insurance contracted, a period of 16 days from April 15 to 30to request a refund of the registration. They recover the 100% of the registration and one-day license, as long as they notify us within the indicated period.
- For those who YES contracted the “Total Cancellation Insurance” Service, the refund request period is extended with a deadline of September 4 and thus recover the 100% of the registration and one-day license.
To manage the return you must send us an email to info@northwesttriman.com with your data, and we will respond to all of you individually.
In addition, for all those without cancellation insurance who continue to register to compete in the race on October 4, we have also extended the initial cancellation and return policy. In other words, as of May 2, the 75% would be returned to you until July 4 or the 50% if you notify us before August 4.
For our part, as athletes before organizers, the triathlon serves as a means to escape, to stay in shape, to travel, to seek goals or take our body and mind to the limit. We would not know how to live without it, that is why after many days of virtual meetings, conversations and reflections, we believe that the logical, honest and responsible thing to do is to give you all the facilities so that you can consider your sports calendar and if now you are not "there" to think in sports, return the 100% to you, without you having to be further harmed, after having lost so much time in training and preparation due to confinement. The spirit of our/your career, has always been the attention and facilities to the athlete, a race "For and By the Athlete", You have been the ones who have made us get here, and those who have given us your trust and want May this always remain so.
We send you our love, all the strength and encouragement for the time that we have left of confinement, take good care of yourselves, both you and your families and we will cross our fingers so that this situation ends as soon as possible.
A big hug to all and we hope to see you on October 4 at our beloved lake, in As Pontes.
In these moments of uncertainty, of not knowing what to do or say, and after the extension of the confinement until April 11, we have decided to write this Post to try to convey our thoughts and answer some questions.
Above all, appeal to our sports and fighting spirit to get out of this "war" that we have had to fight together.
You already know that our test is to be held on June 28, and although there are still more than 3 months to go, we see it necessary for you to know what our position is as athletes, almost more than as organizers.
Will the test be held on the scheduled date? That is our intention and hope, but it is clear that deadlines must be set, and although the "obligations" are imposed by the Government and local authorities, in the end we must be the ones who decide. Thus, we have agreed to set a deadline, May 5, to make a final decision. If upon reaching that date we do not see the sanitary conditions, or adequate to dispute the test, we would go to plan B, which would be to propose another date in collaboration with the City Council, Federation and DGT.
We encourage you to continue with enthusiasm and training within your possibilities until then. Of course it will be a different competition, simply being able to compete outdoors and try to reach the finish line will already be the objective that we all must set for ourselves, forget about the times and the objectives of MMP, simply close your eyes and imagine yourself right now if you could run, swim or ride a bike…. just enjoy again!!
And finally, from here we want to send a message of calm, optimism and unity, in these moments that we are going through, we must support each other, athletes and organizations. Ours, as you know, is made up of athletes who work throughout the year to offer you the best possible test and this year we will fight more than ever to get the test off the ground!
Muuucha Salud Amig@s, to vosotr@s and to your families!!
You already know that our test is sponsored by the federation, in addition to being the Galician Long Distance Championship. We recommend that you review this year's competition regulations as there are some changes, in addition, being a triathlete also includes knowing the regulations ?
An affectionate greeting from the entire NWT team, Let's Train!
