23/03/2008 - Hartlepool Marina Sprint Triathlon
A Message from Tony Weed
Hartlepooltriathletes.com are sad to announce the news that the Hartlepool Marina Sprint Triathlon is to be cancelled for 2008.The Tall Ships race is coming to Hartlepool Marina in 2010 and because of this the site of the race is part of a major development.
After consultation with Hartlepool Borough Council, the Trincomolee Trust (Land owners) and Jo Mast (The developer) it appears that the site will be closed some time in May for the foreseeable future.
Jo Mast are not prepared to guarantee water frontage for the race and therefore we have no option but to cancel the race for 2008.
It is hoped that in 2009 we will be able to work round the development and hold the race in our usual slot of August Bank Holiday Sunday.
