So here’s part of my confusion with race registration pricing. I just got an email advertising an upcoming local multi-sport race. In addition to the sprint tri, there is also a sprint tri relay, a sprint duathlon, and a sprint aqua bike. All on the same course, and the distances of the various disciplines are all concurrent. Yet the price for them all is different — the individual duathlon, and the aqua bike are $80, the individual tri is $100, and the tri relay is $140. The courses are already set up, manned, and occupied by participants. Why should it matter what race you’re doing? Regardless of which race you’re in…there are still participants on that course. I’ve seen other races differentiate like this too. I could see a price difference between a sprint tri, and an Oly tri. But to charge more for the tri just because a participant is running on a course that there are already participants running on doesn’t seem right. I can see charging a little more for the relay. But 40-60 percent more doesn’t seem right. All this being said…this is a race that’s more in the range of what I’m willing to spend for registration. — Dan
