In 2012, we are partnering with Streamline Events to relaunch the Urban Epic as The Boston Triathlon. We feel confident that this is in the best interest of the athletes, the volunteers, and the longevity of the race. Streamline Events is one of the premier race management companies in the Northeast, with popular triathlons in a number of world-class venues, like Cohasset and Nantucket. The Boston Triathlon will be included in Streamline's race series, and will utilize their top-notch expertise and infrastructure.
The management team behind the Urban Epic will continue to oversee the organization and execution of the race, with support from Streamline. We will keep the fun, party atmosphere at the event that we have come to love. The venue and the course will remain the same, and we will give away shades at the finish line. We are confident that the overall experience will be better than ever before, with enhanced infrastructure, stronger volunteer support, and increased athlete participation. This change will enable the race to achieve its full potential as the premier triathlon in one of the world's greatest cities.
Registration for The Boston Triathlon will open on Thursday, December 1st at 8:00 a.m. By partnering with Streamline, we are able to offer a lower price point than ever before, so the entry fee is $90 for an individual and $130 for relays until January 1st (after that it goes up $5). There is a good chance that the race will sell out well in advance, so be sure to sign up early to guarantee your spot.
Information about The Boston Triathlon can be found at www.bostontri.com. If you have further questions, please contact me at will@tri-maine.com. The Urban Epic brand will continue on in another form, so keep your eyes out for updates and announcements.
Than you for your support of this great race and for the sport we love. We hope that you are as excited as we are for the next evolution of triathlon in Boston, and we look forward to seeing you at the start line!
Always Be EPIC!
