The following email was sent to all participants registered for the 2020 Typhoon Texas Kids Triathlon on March 18, 2020 at 10:15am.
Good morning, we have been following the COVID-19 situation very closely and have been communicating daily with Typhoon Texas Waterpark management and City of Katy officials. Because we are still 6.5 weeks out from the event and the fast moving situation, there is not any real guidance on how to proceed so we are continuing to operate based on the published event schedule with the precautionary measures mentioned in the previous update sent on Monday, March 16th.
However, we recognize that some of you may be uncomfortable with the current situation so we are going to reopen the option to defer your entry to the 2021 event. Additionally, we are reducing the standard deferral fee from $20 down to $10 per deferred entry. As of right now, the option to defer your race entry will remain open until April 1st. Registration will remain off with the waitlist open for this year’s event until we get more clarity of this continuously evolving situation.
If you would like to defer your entry to the 2021 event you can click HERE <link only works in email send on RunSignup> or you can visit your RunSignup profile, click Manage Registration under the Typhoon Texas Kids Triathlon and process your deferral from there. If you need additional assistance with the deferral process please review the tutorial at https://help.runsignup.com/support/solutions/articles/17000062915-defer-registration-claim-deferral.
Once your deferral is processed, you will be removed from this year’s event and you’ll receive an email with a link to register for the 2021 event when registration opens (most likely late September/early October).
Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you at the 5th annual Typhoon Texas Kids Triathlon.
Tony Sapp, Co-founder & Race Director
