 I haven't heard anything. I lost my Tri-ginity there this summer with my 1st ever sprint. I was planning on doing the whole weekend next year. Great atmosphere hopefully you heard incorrectly.

There is a posting on the EndorFun Facebook page (in the comments of the top posting) from November 10th that says:  

EndorFun Sports Pretty sure there will be a Black Fly for 2013, will have official announcement shortly!
 
I hope this means they can get it scheduled.  I was looking forward to doing the whole weekend in 2013!

Hope you're right. I have done all 3 races the last 2 years and had a great time. I got my info from my LBS and had been hearing rumors from other's. I'm sure Keith will make an announcement about it soon.

The rumor I heard is Endorfun will not put it on, but Waterville itself will take over the logistics.  Again, that is the rumor I heard and not based on any facts.

Last word I get is Black Fly will be held but the date is still to be determined. I believe Waterville Vally will take it over. That is what I hear from McCyle and Sports in Laconia. Hope it does happen.

As of right now there is no Black Fly in 2013. That said, there is an effort by some locals to put together a race. Stay tuned and hopeful.

Yes Black Fly will not return this year. Keith has moved to Texas and is taking a break from race directing. I will miss it also, it was a great weekend of racing

This is unfortunately true. I have some contacts in the area and we tried hard to get something together, but there just wasn't enough time to do it properly. I am optimistic that something will go into place for 2014. However, I have also spoken with a local race director that is trying to get a similar style event/weekend going in September of this year! Stay tuned...

Very interested in the fact that there is an off-road tri. Puts it right before the race I direct, XTERRA Stoaked, so it will be a good way to get an off-road race in and then deal with the stress of being a race director the following weekend. Thank you to those who are making this happen.
