TriStar triathlon series under pressure, registration is currently suspended

The Monaco based TriStar triathlon series seems to face several severe structural challenges. The TriStar label is owned by Star Production SARL, a company specialized in organizing high quality sport events. Delayed price money payments were discussed the past years, changes in management occured, even race entry is not possible since early February 2013, except TriStar Mallorca. The struggle may be an indicator for way to fast growth of Star Production, formed by former World Triathlon Corporation franchise partner Georg Hochegger and partners.

Affected events are TriStar Cannes, TriStar Salzkammergut, TriStar Monaco and TriStar Lyon. TriStar Mallorca is supported by a local club instead.  2012 triathlons in Nevis, Milton Keynes, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro don't have a 2013 schedule yet.

For their other race labels, StarMile, StarRun and GranFondo+ no 2013 events are scheduled either. In 2012 GranFondo+ contained 6 events, StarRun/Challenge version femina 5 and StarMile at least 1 open water swim. Dnf-is-no-option.com got the following statement from Star Production SARL:

Due to several difficulties we had to take certain decision concerning TriStar races [...]:

TriStar Mallorca: the event will happen in Porto Colom organised by the local club with the support of the local tourism council with the same format and all registered athletes will be on the starting list after registering through Star Events website. For new participants you can register yourself following this link,  www.triathlonportocolom.com/inscripciones.

TriStar Cannes: we had to cancel the TriStar Cannes due to critical issues regarding the race production. We will do communicate more details very soon.

TriStar Salzkammergut: we are trying to set up a solution in order to have the event happening, you will be informed as soon as we have final information.

TriStar Estonia: you can normally register through our website.

TriStar Monaco: we are trying to set up a solution in order to have the event happening, you will be informed as soon as we have final information.
