The Volkswagen Bucharest Half Marathon, scheduled for September 5-6, has been postponed because of concerns over the coronavirus pandemic. The event has thus been rescheduled for May 8-9, 2021, the organizers announced.

“We consider that, in the special conditions of the times we are going through, the running events involving a large number of participants, even if compliant with all health safety rules, might involve risks that are beyond any event organizer’s control,” reads the organizers’ Facebook post. 

All registrations remain valid, and the runners will be automatically transferred for the next year’s edition (May 8-9, 2021). Those who can’t participate in the half marathon in May 2021 are advised to contact Bucharest Running Club by e-mail.
