Challenge Lisboa 2021 is postponed to September
The situation of the pandemic in Portugal has forced to take this measure
One of the best Challenge Family franchise events in Europe, Challenge Lisboa , has just announced that it is postponing the event that was to be held in March to September.
Challenge Lisboa was going to be the first event of the circuit in Europe to take place, but the current pandemic situation in Portugal and Europe has forced the organizers to postpone it.
The new date will be the weekend of September 25, 2021 , where the scheduled events will take place.
- Middle distance(1,9 - 90 - 21)
- Olympic(1,5 - 45 - 10,5)
- Sprint(750 - 23 - 5,3)
This is the statement of the organization:
“ When we had our first postponement in March 2020 (the race was initially scheduled for May 2020), we weren't sure it was the right decision.
In fact, we were hoping that we had made a bad decision and that the virus outbreak did not become so serious, especially since we were one of the first races to do so. Unfortunately, we were right to do so.
We did it at the latest date we could, taking into account government policy announcements and all the necessary travel arrangements and planning that athletes must go through to attend a race.
We didn't want to do it too early and we definitely wouldn't do it too late.
Today, again, we have faced, for the third time, the same decision to make. Everyone's health and safety come first.
Join us on September 25, 2021! See you in Lisbon!
