STORM THE CASTLE 2021....... UPDATE

Over the past few months we have attempted to keep you informed as to our plans for launching and hosting Storm The Castle, as you may be aware the messages have changed a couple of times, and as athletes ourselves we empathise with how frustrating this can be. We have continued to plan for the event to go ahead in April 2021, however we now feel that this is simply not the correct decision, both logistically or morally.

We made the decision to not launch for entries on 1st January believing that this was the wrong time to ask athletes to pay money for an event that inevitably would be in doubt. We pushed back the entry launch to 1st February hoping that we would be more certain of being able to host the event on the proposed date of 25th April. Sadly, and we do not think this will come as a major surprise, we are making the difficult decision to move the date of the race back to later in the year.

There is the small hope that the COVID-19 situation turns around in the next couple of months, and that we would actually be allowed by British Triathlon to organise the race, however the limited amount of time between getting the all clear and hosting the race would simply not leave us fully prepared. More importantly, we feel that at this present time, as individuals, as businesses and as a country, we have far bigger battles to win.

With this in mind we would like to confirm that the new proposed date for Storm The Castle 2021 is October 24th. We have never hosted the duathlon at this time of year, although many of you will be aware that the duathlon season tends to be Spring and Autumn, and so we hope this gives you some incentive and focus to have a summer of training and getting ready to tackle the UK's toughest and most beautiful duathlon. We will launch the website for entries on 1st April so please be ready for that.

We would like to wish all of our athletes, volunteers and supporters the best of health, stay safe and we will be back. ... See MoreSee Less
