Good evening Triathlon family,
We trust that you are all keeping well and safe and that you are managing to find ways and means to keep up with your running and cycling. Unfortunately use of the Mount Pleasant Pool remains negative until such time we are given approval to resume activities.
Immediately after the announcement on 2nd January of the immediate lockdown with travel, curfew, people at gathering restrictions and the suspension of all sporting events, we initiated several meetings and over the past 10 days have held extensive discussions with the LOC (Event Local Organising Committee), Medical Delegate, Sponsors and stakeholders regarding the event.
The Executive Board and LOC met late this afternoon and after deliberate and considered consultations, and with the full support of all key and relevant stakeholders, it was agreed that under the current situation in Zimbabwe the event should not take place.
It is with regret that we have to announce that the BONAQUA 2021 AFRICA TRIATHLON CUP TROUTBECK and all associated Multi-sport events scheduled for 20 February 2021 will be POSTPONED until later this year, a date will be confirmed in the next few days.
This has been a very difficult decision but all parties are critically aware of the extreme level of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis that our beloved Zimbabwe is now facing. We greatly appreciate the continued support and loyalty of our Sponsor Group, event Partners, associated suppliers and stakeholders and most importantly, you, the Triathlon family.
The event WILL take place in 2021 and the rescheduled date will be will be announced in the next few days once all protocols have been followed. Thank you all for your continued support – please keep safe and healthy.
