WORLD MOUNTAIN RUNNING ASSOCIATION

Cancellation of the 2020 World Cup

10/05/2020

It is with much regret that the WMRA has decided that the Mountain Running World Cup in 2020 should be cancelled. This is a very difficult decision but in the end we feel it is the right one to ensure that our Mountain Running athletes, race organisers and all volunteers and spectators stay safe in these uncertain times. WMRA always want a fair and exciting competition and we have seen that many runners would not be able to attend World Cup events and we would not want to put any of our Mountain Running community at risk.

We do have ideas to keep athletes and organisers excited about mountain running competitions in 2020 in whatever format Mountain Races will be able to be run as the Coronavirus situation develops.

WMRA offers Associate Membership to all Mountain Running competitions (HERE). We will work directly with these Associate Member races to inspire them to work locally together and bring an exciting element to this year’s Mountain Races when it is safe to start up again.

Please stay safe and when running outside, respect the guidelines and rules within your communities and give other people space.
