**IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Dear Participants,

OBSE has had to make a change on the OBX Tri this year.  NC DOT has been doing road work on the Manns Harbor bridge.  This is work that we were familiar with.  We worked to create a new bike route to accommodate the athletes. Unfortunately, the county feels that with all the other construction on the north end of Roanoke Island that any other route is unsafe.  So, with that said we must cancel the bike portion of the race.  We have exhausted all other means to do the bike portion and we are very sorry. 

We have contacted USAT, and we were instructed to do the swim/run portion of the race. WE can host an Aquathlon (Swim/Run) The event can still be ranked as a triathlon so you athletes can still use it to qualify for Age Group Nationals and National Rankings.

Once again OBSE and its board are very sorry, and we hope you understand our situation.
