Increased Security At Races Starting This Weekend In Wasaga Beach

For those of you who are racing with us this weekend it will very important that you read the pre-race email and report that will be sent out tomorrow morning to all registered athletes. It will be available on our website, Facebook page and through Twitter.

Given the unfortunate situation last weekend in Ottawa, where a bike was stolen during a race, we will be implementing a new security system for all of our races. In the case of Wasaga Beach it will mean 6ft high fencing around transition with only one entrance in and out. Not pretty, but unfortunately possibly necessary.

Before people ask, why only one in and out. Here is the reason. The Wasaga Beach race site is very large and we cannot have multiple entry points and guarantee tighter security. We are getting some assistance from Triathlon Ontario volunteers on Saturday and bringing in paid staff on Sunday.

We believe we have thought through all of the logistics from a customer perspective but ask that you be prepared for the possibility of small line-ups on race morning. The best solution would be if you were to arrive 10 to 15 minutes earlier than you normally would.
