With Peninsula Township Parks Commission approval granted, Endurance Evolution hopes to be able to move the finish area for the Traverse City Triathlon back to its original location at Bowers Harbor Park.

In 2015, at the request of Peninsula Township, the finish area for the Traverse City Triathlon was relocated to a parcel of newly-acquired township land off of Devils Dive Rd., near the Jolly Pumpkin Brewery.

“While we had a lot more space at the 2015 location, it was very apparent the that finish venue was far from ideal”, said Traverse City Triathlon race director Joel Gaff, Jr. “We had very little cover from the sun, and there was no immediate water source or play area for families and kids like we had just a few hundred yards to he north at the old finish area,” added Gaff

Endurance Evolution received approval for the finish area change from the Peninsula Township Parks Commission at their March 2 meeting, and the next step is a public hearing, and hopefully approval, at the June 14 Township Board meeting.

Gaff notes that the more support they have at the meeting for the change from race participants, fans, and local residents, the better the chance will be for approval. “Anyone interested in showing support for moving the finish area back to Bowers Harbor Park should come to the June 14 public hearing if at all possible. Supporters can also contact me for more information,” added Gaff.
