Unsurprisingly, the Coronavirus has affected this year’s scheduled mountain running races.

Both the NACAC and Canadian Mountain Running championships set to be held at the Golden Mountain Challenge in Golden, BC have been cancelled.

The Quebec Mega Trail in Mont Saint-Anne, Quebec has been postponed until October 11, 2020, and will remain as the Canadian Long Distance Mountain Running Championships.

World Championships Selections

At present, the World Mountain Running Association still intends to organize the World Mountain Running Championships in Lanzarote, Spain, on November 12-14.

We will be updating the selection criteria in light of the domestic race cancellations so that we can select a team assuming the World Championships will still go ahead.

Given that the rescheduled date of Canadian Long Distance Championships (Quebec Mega Trail) race is quite close to the World Championships, we are discussing whether it will still be a full selection race. However, the top woman and top man from this race will still be automatically selected for the World Championships.

As we all know, the Coronavirus situation is a constantly changing one and we will try to continually keep everyone updated as the situation evolves. Swiss Replica Watches

For now, we hope everyone stays safe and are still able to run up a big hill everyone now and then!
