RACE CANCELLATION

Battle in the Bay triathlon set to occur April 5th will be canceled. Due to last minute increases in the cost estimates from the San Francisco Police Department and the Treasure Island Planning Commission, our club stood to loose nearly $25,000 from hosting the race this weekend. We could not, in good faith, risk the solvency of the team to host a race that has received lackluster attendance from conference schools, ours included. We greatly regret having to make such a decision after the countless efforts from our race coordinators, volunteers, and sponsors to execute what would have been a truly excellent triathlon. We also deeply apologize to WCCTC schools and BITB racers who have been training so hard and have been looking forward to this weekend.

We will be offering full refunds for all participants through Active.com or the University. Please be on the lookout for an email from the race director within the next couple days.

Again we offer our apologies to everyone who was excited about this weekends race. Canceling the race under these circumstances is a decision we wish we never had to make. Feel free to contact the race director Christi Leong at battleinthebay@gmail.com or club president Steve Sexton ssexton@berkley.edu with any additional concerns or questions regarding WCCTC championships.

Have fun training and good luck to all schools at Nationals and all triathlons in this coming season.
