The Best World Championships That Almost Were

"With sadness Toronto Athletics Event Management Inc. announced today that it will not pursue a postponement of the World Masters Athletics Championships, originally scheduled for Toronto in the summer of 2020..."

STATEMENT FROM WMA PRESIDENT MARGIT JUNGMANN:

"On medical grounds it was an ethical decision to cancel July and to work on postponing the Championships. We are hopeful that a championship can still be held in Toronto. It is a monumental task to re-organize, so it is much too early to know if it is possible. We will keep you informed.

For registered athletes it is important to know that WMA decided with the LOC to refund the registration fees through Simply Register."

PLEASE READ FULL STATEMENT INCLUDING DETAILS REGARDING REFUNDS HERE:https://wmatoronto2020.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Statement-of-the-president-final-2.pdf

We regret to inform you that the World Masters Athletics Toronto 2020 Championships will be CANCELLED due to the COVID-19 crisis. This has been a very difficult
decision for the WMATO2020 Executive Board, however, given the global uncertainty and with the
health and safety of our staff, athletes, officials, volunteers and partners as our first priority, it is
necessary for us to cancel at this time.

We are considering other options including postponing for up to a year but the event will NOT take place July 20 - August 1, 2020. Further announcements will be made when possible. Details and information regarding entry refunds will be forthcoming.

We thank you for your commitment to the WMA movement and trust that we will be stronger on the
other side of this.

Stay safe and continue to live life without limits.
