Greetings!
IRONMAN MUSKOKA 70.3
We wanted you, our loyal Subaru Triathlon Series athletes, to be one of the first to know!
While you are sitting at your computer reading this e-mail, we are in Huntsville, Ontario at Deerhurst Resort getting ready to host a press conference to tell the world about the newest Ironman 70.3 to take place September 14, 2008! Ironman Muskoka 70.3 !
For over 21 years Trisport Promotions has been host to over 250,000 triathletes and over 300 triathlons across Ontario. We are now extremely excited to be taking our combined years of event experience to bring athletes one of the most highly anticipated triathlons in Ontario. You'll be happy to know that Ironman Champion Lisa Bentley and veteren triathlete Dave Cracknell have been actively involved in helping us secure the rights to this event and have played an integral role in the course layout and design. Together with Mitch and my myself we are announcing the formation of Trisport North and the newly acquired Muskoka Ironman 70.3!

About The Host Area
The Town of Huntsville, Lake of Bays, Dwight and Dorset are all thrilled to be a part of this event. The small town charm will compare with the likes of Ironman Lake Placid and Subaru Ironman Canada. Deerhurst and the Town of Huntsville hosted the 1992 World Triathlon Championships and Huntsville is currently home to the annual Subaru Muskoka Chase each June. They are all fully commited to hosting both of these events and promise to make the 70.3 the highlight of the year!
Huntsville will now hold title to the largest triathlon town in Canada and potentially be hosting over 3,000 + triathletes in one year!
About the Host Resort
Here, in the heart of Muskoka's majesty, you'll find Deerhurst Resort, acclaimed as "Canada's Best". When athletes arrive at this lakeside setting, they'll know that unforgettable experiences are awaiting them.
Just an easy 2 hr drive from Toronto , Deerhurst is 800 acres of classic Muskoka "playground" and built in activities. Your family and friends will beg you to bring them along and share in your Ironman 70.3 experience.
Deerhurst has set aside their entire resort for us and our 70.3 athletes but there is a limit of 400 hotel rooms on site. If you are thinking of entering the race and staying on site, then we suggest you get your reservations in quickly as we expect this will be the "hot spot". A further list of accomodations will be available shortly.
