Is there an official schedule somewhere that this can be found? I know it usually is the same weekend as the previous event just one day off, but trying to plan a long vacation around this and kids events going on in similar time frames. So need to be absolutely positive of date. IMCDA is committed through 2017 I just haven’t found exact dates. Emailed WTC and am still waiting of course…figured ST would be faster. Any help on this is appreciated
I heard a rumor that the date was moving to August. If it’s not finalized, that may be why you can’t find anything exact yet.
Probably not what you want to hear, but it will be published in the athlete guide, which obviously won’t be out until closer to this year’s race.
fwiw - I have no idea how true this rumor is…

August (or near August) is very crowded on the IM calendar. IMLP and Whistler are the last week in July, Boulder is the first week in Aug, IMMT is two weeks after Boulder, and Louisville is a week after IMMT. They have June all to themselves. Can’t see why they would do this. Plus IMTX is moving to April in a couple of years so there won’t be in IM in May either.

I don’t foresee them changing the date like you noted. It would make sense to stay the same but this is WTC we are talking about…

FWIW, I spent months trying to figure out the date for the 2014 race before they announced it. I finally got an answer a few days before the 2013 race took place.
I wouldn’t be overly surprised if they moved it to August. Every time I tell anybody that I’m signed up for IMCDA, the first thing they tell me is how cold the swim will be. Plus the WTC could put another nail in the coffin for Challenge Penticton if CDA moved to August.

I see your point, but CDA, like many of the lakeside resorts cities, get so busy during July and August that I don’t think they would really want the race then

Got a response from WTC Finally…the 2015 race date is June 28th. So no changes from the norm. Just so there is an update for this thread
