Plans for the updated course were denied due to a missed deadline to alert residents: 'Our appeal will be heard on Monday by Malibu City Council and we are optimistic of a positive outcome that will allow this incredible event to proceed.'
Triathlon organizers teamed with City of Malibu officials and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Beaches and Harbors to hatch a plan that protected the fish and its new habitat while minimizing “our impact on the local ecosystem.” In doing so, they proposed a course change but the permit was “denied on a technicality,” organizers confirm in the emailed statement.
“We are appealing that decision and are confident we will be able to hold the safe, enjoyable, and inspiring event we all want while helping some of the most vulnerable in our society,” read the statement. The follow-up appeal will be heard and voted on during Monday night’s Malibu City Council meeting. Further frustrating participants, some of whom have taken to social media to express their disappointment, is the fact that the Olympic Distance was shortened to 14.
