PLANNING FOR A WORLD CLASS MARATHON, by Carolyn Mather for RunBlogRun

It is with regret that we have agreed with the Mayor of Gdynia and the organisers of the World Athletics Half Marathon Championships Gdynia 2020 (29 March) to postpone this event until October this year, due to the ongoing uncertainty created by the spread of new Coronavirus internationally.

The current international situation would have seriously compromised the event at this time as many countries are now restricting international travel, invoking quarantines and advising citizens and event organisers to avoid mass gatherings.

First and foremost we had to consider the health and well-being of our athletes, officials and spectators in making this decision.

The advice from our medical team, who are in contact with the World Health Organisation, is that the spread of the Coronavirus is at a concerning level in many countries and all major gatherings should be reviewed.

This week we have worked with the Local Organising Committee to identify an appropriate alternative date for both the host city and for the elite competitors and we have agreed on 17 October this year.

Due to the exceptional efforts of our Polish organising committee, and the enthusiasm of the local community, this event was to include a mass race of more than 25,000 participants on 29 March, and we hope that the great majority of these recreational runners will still be able to participate alongside our elite competitors on the new date. Key information for mass race runners, related to the postponement of the event, can be found on the official website.

Report des Championnats du monde de semi-marathon à Gdynia

C’est avec regret que nous avons convenu avec le Maire de Gdynia et les organisateurs des Championnats du monde de semi-marathon de World Athletics Gdynia 2020 (prévus le 29 mars), de reporter cette compétition au mois d’octobre de cette année, et ce en raison de l’incertitude actuelle suscitée par la propagation du nouveau coronavirus à l’échelle mondiale.

La situation internationale actuelle aurait sérieusement compromis la tenue de l’événement à la date initiale, car de nombreux pays limitent désormais les voyages internationaux, en appliquant des mesures de quarantaine et en conseillant aux personnes et aux organisateurs d’événement d’éviter les rassemblements de masse.

Cette décision est motivée par le fait que nous devons avant tout protéger la santé et le bien-être de nos athlètes, des officiels et des spectateurs.

En effet, notre équipe médicale, qui est en contact avec l’Organisation mondiale de la santé, estime que la propagation du coronavirus atteint un niveau préoccupant dans de nombreux pays et qu’il convient d’analyser la situation pour chaque grande manifestation.

Cette semaine, nous avons donc travaillé de concert avec le Comité d’organisation local pour définir une autre date convenant à la fois à la ville hôte et aux coureurs d’élite. Nous nous sommes accordés sur la date du 17 octobre de cette année.

Grâce aux efforts exceptionnels déployés par le Comité d’organisation polonais et à l’enthousiasme des collectivités locales, une course de masse devait avoir lieu le 29 mars dans le cadre de ces championnats, rassemblant plus de 25 000 participants. Nous espérons que tous ces coureurs amateurs seront encore nombreux le 17 octobre 2020, pour se joindre aux athlètes d’élite. Des informations clés concernant le report de l’événement sont disponibles sur le site officiel, à l’intention des participants de la course de masse.
