Organizing a high quality event has always been important for us at Laponia Triathlon. We are proud of what we have accomplished over the years but have still decided to cancel the 2024 edition of Laponia Triathlon. The reason is that we have too few registered athletes to perform a race of high quality. Participants need more athletes to compete against and our volunteers need more participants for the effort to be worthwhile. The decision concerns both the long- and sprint distances.
We will now evaluate what we can do differently for the future and will return with information about whether there will be a Laponia Triathlon next year or not.
All starting fees will be refunded and we will contact all registered athletes via email later this week with more details.
