Hey Folks – Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

As a Somersault Christmas Gift of appreciation for your patronage past and future, we are offering you the opportunity to save on 2009 Somersault event entry fees (which by the way will remain at 2008 levels). We are also offering you the opportunity to buy 2009 Somersault Entry Fee Gift Certificates for your friends, your family, and/or yourself – a great gift for those planning on building event participation into their 2009 fitness plans.

2009 Somersault Series – Triathlon, Duathlon, Run, Kayak Tri, Relay, SwimCycle, Swim, & Wylie Ryan Kids’ Events.

As the cold winter weather closes in on us, we have put the final touches on the 2009 Somersault Series which you can find at http://www.somersault.ca/.  The 2009 Somersault Event Calendar, consists of 13 great events, featuring 138 different individual and team races, and relays. There are definitely races for everyone - from start to finish in the 2009 program.

Early Season 20% Discount Deadline – December 31, 2008 – Midnight

We urge you to take advantage of our discount entry fee program. You can save 20% on every event you enter in the 2009 Somersault event program, if you enter by December 31, 2008 at midnight. Remember too, you are allowed one "free transfer of entry" for each event you enter (before January 31, 2009), so if your plans change you won’t lose your discounted entry fee.
