FR - valid point the experience of competing in events does give organisers a vast wealth of experience to draw upon - what they liked, what they didnt like - what works what doesnt & also how to think on your feet when there are issues as ahown with MK having a minor route change to keep the event on :)

They still have a distinct lack of contact information on the website though so no way of getting in touch if you need to.

Anyone get one of these? funny thing is they still dont get any better, lets face it they where never going to get a water quality check done on the Humber!!!!

Dear Competitor,

It's with great regret that we have to announce the cancellation of the Valhalla Triathlon which was scheduled to take place on Sunday 10th of June 2012.

Unfortunately we have not been able to resolve several issues with the event, including a water safety concern which has recently been brought to our attention. Competitor safety has to be the highest priority at every event, and while we are very disappointed at not being able to deliver the planned race we would be neglecting our duty of care to you, the athlete, and to our event crew if we were to ignore the highlighted issues and let the event go ahead.

We have been working relentlessly to investigate every avenue which could resolve the issues and the safety concerns and keep the event alive, which is why the cancellation has been such short notice.

We know you've been training hard in preparation for this event and understand the frustration and disappointment this announcement will cause, particularly with the short notice of the announcement and offer our sincere apologies.

You will of course receive a full refund of your entry fee, just drop us an email to events@torocsc.com confirming your name and preference for bank transfer or cheque and we will process it in the next 14 days. If however you were planning on racing at any of our other events and haven't yet entered we will be happy to transfer your entry. 1 x Valhalla entry = 2 x Alternative Toro CSC event entries. Please email and advise is this is your preference.

As a gesture of good will for the inconvenience we would like to offer you an additional 50% discount off the entry fee of any Toro CSC event in 2013 / 2014.

We remain committed to our mission of developing and promoting triathlon and participation in sport in the area, and look forward to seeing many of you at our established Gold Rush Triathlon Series or Hell on The Humber.

Once again please accept our sincere apologies for the disappointment of the cancellation.

Kind Regards,

Karl
