2022 International Competitions Update

We have received information regarding new dates for the following competitions:

World Athletics Half Marathon Championships

This competition which was originally scheduled to be held on Sunday 27 March 2022 has now been postponed to Sunday 13 November 2022.

“This postponement is due to the biosecurity measures and travel restrictions currently in place to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in China”.

World Athletics and the LOC in Yangzhou hope that this postponement will allow more time for existing travel and quarantine restrictions to be eased, which will allow athletes from all international federations to safely enjoy the competition.

World Athletics Mountain & Trail Running Championships:

This competition which was initially postponed until February 2022 has now been postponed to November 2022 due to the uncertainty of the current situation in Thailand, the host country.
