One more marathon joins the cancellations of events such as New York, Boston, Berlin, London and Tokyo, the Chicago marathon.
This test, which was going to be disputed on October 11, is one of the six most important in the world, included in the 'World Marathon Majors',.
"In response to concerns arising from the coronavirus pandemic, the city of Chicago announces its decision to cancel the '2020 Bank of America Chicago Marathon', as well as all activities planned for that weekend“, has announced the organization on its website
Each registered participant will have the option to receive a refund for their participation in the 2020 race or to defer their place and registration fee to a future edition of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon (2021, 2022 or 2023).
The Tokyo marathon could be held on March 1, but without amateur runners, and the London marathon, originally scheduled for April 26, is still scheduled for October 4.
