Could this be your last chance to race up Sugarloaf? Sommer Sports has made the tough decision to not host next year’s half distance Florida Challenge Triathlon - the Intimidator in March. With increasing costs and lackluster participation, we had no other choice. The projected police costs alone for 2024 are nearly double what they were a few years back.

We earlier announced that this will be the final year for the full distance GFT Ultra for similar reasons. We are still evaluating if a half distance GFT will be held in 2024, That decision will be made following this year’s race.

We just wanted to give everyone advanced notice that this year’s Great Floridian Triathlon could be your final chance to race a triathlon that includes Sugarloaf Mountain in the bike course.

We are hoping that this will be just a temporary displacement until the numbers justify bringing both races back.

Ready for a challenge? Next year we'll be separating the Great Clermont & Florida Challenge Triathlons into separate days. You'll be able to race the Olympic distance AdventHealth Great Clermont Triathlon on Saturday, and the half distance AdventHealth Florida Challenge Triathlon - the Intimidator on Sunday. If you are not up for the distance, we'll have sprint triathlons both days as well so you can still challenge yourself. Registration is now open for both events at www.SommerSportsEvents.com

Sorry for delay, our entire team has been out of the office prepping for tomorrow's race. We're still planning for a live race tomorrow and will be monitoring the weather throughout the night. The cold front has been stalled in north Florida all day, but it is forecast to start heading south soon. There is much less rain and storm activity now than there was earlier today. All we can really do is wait and see. As has been the case all week, each of the four weather services we monitor has a different forecast for tomorrow. We did notice a trend that the more severe weather may be closer to the east coast. In fact, the national weather service issued an severe weather alert for the east coast about an hour ago. We have yet to receive one for Central Florida.

We'll be back online at 4am with another update.

The weather forecasts are still all over the place about tomorrow's weather. The forecast screen grab in this post is from Accuweather Professional, the weather service we have found to be most reliable over the years. Some of the others, like Weather.com show scattered thunderstorms in the morning. As you well know, advance weather forecasts in situations like this are always changing. Currently we are still a go for Saturday morning. We will be continuously monitoring the situation all day, and will have another update available between 4pm and 5pm. The closer we get to the start, the more reliable the forecasts tend to become. We're hoping for a live race, but at the same time we have multiple contingcy plans in place in case we need to alter our plans. Once again I would like to ask you to please not email, call or message us about the weather. Our team is busy prepping for the race and will not be able to respond to all emails. If they do, weather related questions will receive a similar response as to what was posted here. Thanks!
