The organizers of the Haría Extreme Lanzarote have confirmed the cancellation of the event, which was to be held next November and which arrived with "a very special edition", since this year the event hosted the World Mountain Running Championships of the WMRA. "The current health situation does not allow the test to be carried out with the care it deserves, so the decision agreed between the parties involved, the Haría City Council and the WMRA, has been to suspend the celebration of the race," they say in a statement.
"If normally an event like the Haría Extreme Lanzarote requires the mobilization of a lot of personnel and resources to place the race on the world scene of mountain races, this year all the factors were multiplied to be the first Spanish venue in the history of the Mountain Running World Championships," they add
Therefore, they point out that "the decision not to continue with the organization of the race has been especially painful, since the event would have meant a before and after for the municipality of Haría and the island of Lanzarote".
However, they explain that they have been forced to adopt this measure "in the face of the health crisis that is still present in the Canary Islands and that affects the whole world". However, they maintain that the Haría Extreme Lanzarote "will return with all the strength in the world in 2021, with a date already scheduled for the weekend of November 13 and 14", and that "the Haría City Council will recover the spirit that has led this race to become one of the most outstanding events in the Canary Islands and a world reference for mountain races".
