The Ehime Marathon, scheduled for February 2021, has been making preparations to face the challenges presented by the spread of the novel coronavirus but has come to the conclusion that it would not be possible to ensure the safety and well-being of runners, volunteers, medical staff, local residents and everyone else involved in the race. Accordingly, next year’s 59th edition has been postponed by one year.
“The Organising Committee are announcing this decision in August prior to the opening of registrations in order to minimise the inconvenience caused to participants and those who help make the race possible.We extend our apologies to each of them,” said the organisers.
