Folks, I regret to inform you that we are cancelling the 2nd annual Double Play Duathlon due to construction in and around the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Two weeks ago we reviewed the site with Rangers officials and while there was significant construction, it was not to the point of impeding transition or the run courses. This afternoon we again reviewed the site with plans to adjust. Instead we found increased construction. In talking with the Rangers and security we have been told all this will NOT be complete until opening day in April. The construction is such that it is dangerous and could pose a physical threat to our athletes. Our first concern is and always will be your safety.

Interestingly the bike portion is okay despite areas of construction. However around the Ballpark and within the concourse there is construction and the stockpiling of building supplies which would obstruct our modified run course and put all of you in danger. We plan to have this race again in 2009 when all this is complete. Due to the extensive use of the Ballpark from April thru October, holding a race then would not be realistic or prudent.

For those of you that have already paid, you have 3 options:
1. Transfer of your credit to any of our other 23 events which includes 3 other duathlons still available in 2008. Go to the calendar page for the complete list.

2. Take a raincheck and be automatically entered into the 2009 Double Play Du, no additional fees required.

3. Request a refund. We'll mail you a check.

In any case we need you to send us an e-mail with your desires. For those events on our list that are less then $60.00, a refund for the difference will be issued when you pick up your packet if you desire to transfer. This transfer is also good for PrairieMan Half in which case you would simply owe the difference.

If you have any questions, please e-mail us at: ironjack@ironheadrp.com. Again, we are sorry for this cancellation but your safety comes first.

Thanks,

Jack
