It is with heavy hearts but fond memories that we announce the end of Deep South Triathlon. We have had deep conversations with ourselves and each other, lost sleep at night playing out different scenarios in our heads, shed a few tears, and embraced in long hugs as we drew to this conclusion.
We started this race with the goals of providing a high-quality event for our athletes, supporting our local charities, and enhancing our local triathlon community.
We never intended to open registration for 2022 and not finish the triathlon season without a race.
However, given recent events including an overall reduction in triathlon participation we feel we can no longer deliver on these goals. Due to this belief and the knowledge that we have the responsibility to be good stewards with your trust in producing a high-quality event, we knew this was the correct decision. It is not the one we wanted or welcomed, but after much reflection and consideration one that we are at peace with.
We have such fond memories of each of you and our times together. This is not the end of MS Race Management, and we hope to see you again at a local race, a charity event, an exciting destination race, or a future MRM production. We cannot thank you enough for your generous support over the years. Deep South Triathlon is an event we are proud to be associated with, and the success of Deep South Triathlon is only because of you – our athletes, sponsors, and volunteers.
We will be communicating with those that have registered for the 2022 event soon via email. Our intention is to give you a full refund unless you request otherwise.
Thank you for the years of fun, friendship, and love. We are not referring to this as the end but to the beginning of a new chapter! Cheers to the Future! Allen, Joel, and Tiffany
