We are excited announce that our Take on the Heat Triathlon will take place on October 25, 2020! Postponing the event from its original date on July of this year brought up the updated name “Take II”.
As challenging as this season has been for all of us, we hope you close it with us with us and Take on the Heat Take II.
If you would like to transfer for registration from an earlier Playtri race, please email Events@Playtri.com. If you were registered for this event in July, you still are; the event just changed date.
Our team is planning safe and responsible execution of the event, following all guidelines available.
Everyone's safety is the priority and we will be following all state and city guidelines and regulations on Covid-19. USAT Safe Return to Multisport will also be followed.

Cover your cough or sneeze. Stay at least 6’ away if you cough and do not cough or sneeze while passing another athlete. Do not spit on the course or in the transition area.
Announce yourself to your fellow racer when passing so all parties can make effort to stay 6’ apart.
