St. Anthony’s Triathlon opens registration for 2021
September 21, 2020 - The St. Anthony's Triathlon is back on the calendar for 2021. The annual race, with a course that takes participants through much of St. Petersburg, was cancelled this year due to Covid-19 but has been scheduled for April 23-April 25, 2021. The event has been ranked as the fourth largest triathlon in the country. "Our goal is to have an in-person race in 2021. But it all depends on how well the pandemic is under control," Scott Smith, St. Anthony's Hospital president, said in a news release. Race organizers are looking at other races that have been staged successfully to gather their best practices, said Patrick McGee, Triathlon manager and race director. The three-day weekend includes an Olympic-Distance Triathlon and a shorter-distance Sprint Triathlon, both on on April 25, as well as a Meek & Mighty Triathlon, a race for novice adults and children new to the sport on April 24. The weekend also includes the St. Anthony’s Triathlon Sports & Fitness Expo. Registration opens at 9 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 1. Click here for more information.
