EDITORIAL: City, Ironman should continue working together
Ironman 70.3 Coeur d'Alene, held last Sunday, was the second year of a three-year contract between the city and the World Triathlon Corporation to hold the race here. We encourage the city and the WTC to extend the contract or begin considering a new one so this event will continue in Coeur d'Alene. Just as Ironman has become part of this city's identity, this city has become part of Ironman.
Ironman is good for the town. Not just in terms of money. It's been around since 2003, initially as a full Ironman. In the early days, thousands volunteered and even more came out to watch. It went through a rough patch for a few years, with declining numbers and leaving some disgruntled residents because it tied up streets for a good chunk of the day.
