CANCELED **** Miles of DisComfort Marathon
The STORM Board of Directors has decided to cancel the 2021 STORM Miles of DisComfort MTB Marathon race scheduled for Jan 30, 2021. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. After long, careful, and sometimes agonizing consideration we decided the potential health and safety risks to the TMBRA community, volunteers, and event staff as well as the impact to our already overtaxed healthcare systems in Kendall and Bexar counties would be too much. We had opened registration in hopes there may have been a downturn in COVID-19 cases and hospital admissions, but the trend after the holidays has continued to rise with no evidence of diminishing soon. We look forward, as we are sure all of you do, to a return to some sort of normalcy when we can go back to a pre-pandemic race series schedule. BikeReg will be refunding registration fees in the next few days for those who have already registered.
