IRONMAN 70.3 Muncie canceled, according to Delaware County Health Department

MUNCIE, Ind. — The IRONMAN 70.3 Muncie, which was set to take place July 11, has been canceled, according to the Delaware County Health Department.

The decision comes after Gov. Eric Holcomb's announcement to delay Stage 5 of Indiana's Back on Track plan Wednesday. Indiana is now in what Holcomb described as Stage 4.5 of its reopening plan — which is basically an extension of Stage 4 — and will stay there until at least July 18.

According to Stage 4 of the state's reopening plan, social gatherings of up to 250 people may take place following CDC social distancing guidelines, something Delaware County Health Officer Donna Wilkins didn't see as possible for the IRONMAN event.
