Hello triathletes!
As much as we would love to host Tri the Illini, there are too many uncertainties for us to SAFELY host the event. Though we know many were excited for this race, we decided to cancel the event out of the concern for the safety of event participants, volunteers, event staff, and spectators.
For those who have signed up: You will be refunded.
