ISHIGAKI TRIATHLON: Opening Soon
Registration (first come, first served) opens Tuesday, November 15 at 1200. Last year, it sold out very quickly - as in about 24 hours. It's worth noting that the COVID-19 situation was significantly different back in late 2021. In recent years prior to the pandemic, registration typically stayed open for several days, if not weeks. Considering "races are back", Ishigaki seems unlikely to be an instant sell-out. Still, if you're interested, it'd be wise to register early.
