On Friday, March 13th shortly before noon, we were notified by Lewisville ISD that the district would be shut down on Sunday, the race day, and therefore we would not be able to hold the Luck of the Irish event.

All athletes have the option to switch to the Take on the Heat Triathlon or compete in the Luck of the Irish Virtual Race.  If you choose to race the Virtual Race, please see the email sent our earlier for instructions how to post your results on Facebook or email your results to Virtual@Playtri.com .  If you do not want to race the Virtual event, you will automatically be transferred to Take on the Heat on July 12th (same venue, same course, same distances).
