HERE IS AN EMAIL I RECEIVED FROM CHELAN ABOUT THE UPCOMING RACES!
Lake Chelan Triathlon Participants;
There has been lots of discussion regarding the status of the World Endurance Sports Triathlons scheduled for July 8th through July 19th. As of today, World Endurance Sports does not have authorization to use the City parks or School District property for the races. The Chamber Board has decided not to partner with World Endurance Sports. We are very interested in having the all Tri-athletes and their friends and family come to Lake Chelan and have a great time regardless of the status of the triathlons. The Chamber has decided to;
Not attempt to put on triathlon races if the World Endurance Sports races are cancelled. We don not believe we can put on a safe quality event with the 2 week lead time.
Provide a special 'Lake Chelan Fun' Coupon book for registered participants with special discounts.
Coordinate 'informal' bike rides along the south shore and north shore of Lake Chelan passing several local wineries and points of interest.
Work with local Bike Club to coordinate Mountain Bike rides at Echo Ridge
Coordinate a Fun Run for registered participants on July 8th and July 15th if the Triathlons do not occur on those dates.
Start plans for Lake Chelan Triathlons for June 2007 and late September / early October 2007 working with a local race organizer.
Regardless of the status of the triathlons there are lots of fun activities at Lake Chelan in mid July, including First Friday celebration, July 7th, Family Fest - July 8th, Bach Fest - July 8th through 15th, Riverwalk Park Concert with Alice Stuart - July 21st, the Chelan Rodeo - July 21st and 22nd, and the Paperboy's Concert on July 22nd. Information and these and other events is available on our web site.
Again, thank you for your interest in the Lake Chelan Triathlons. We will keep information updated on the our web site www.lakechelan.com. If you have questions please contact the Chamber office.
