Dunedin Rotary Triathlon
Honeymoon Island State Park
May 21, 2023
The health and well-being of our athletes and volunteers are of the utmost importance to us at the Dunedin Rotary Club. With the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 (athlete and volunteer health/concerns, restrictions on significant groups/events, Honeymoon Island park closure, city resources, etc.), the Dunedin Rotary Triathlon is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, May 21, 2023.
We appreciate the support, dedication, and passion of our athletes, volunteers, and sponsors who have made the Dunedin Rotary Triathlon one of the best local races around!
