There will be no sports championship for 2020

In light of this global health crisis that continues to evolve, the Ultra-Trail® World Tour has, in consultation with the Race Director Council, made the decision not to award a championship title in 2020. The sporting competition as embodied by the Ultra-Trail® World Tour, which brings together the most emblematic and prestigious long-distance trail running races in the world, cannot take place as usual in the context of the COVID-19 crisis because of the cancellation of 13 events since the pandemic and upholding fairness among the athletes.

The Ultra-Trail® World Tour team wishes to take this opportunity to express again its full support to all the race organizers, athletes and the trail-running family at large, who have been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis in one way or another.
