It's been an annual event in Morpeth since 1994, but the popular Maitland Triathlon is no more.
Organisers announced on Wednesday night they've been told by traffic authorities the event is no longer regarded as safe, even though there has never been any complaints or breaches in the past.
They've been told they would have to make significant changes to their already substantial traffic plan for the event to proceed.
They say this makes holding the Triathlon unviable both financially and logistically.
Alternate routes and options were considered but were not considered viable.
Anyone who's entered for this year's event will be refunded within 7 days.
