Cancellation – 15th Basler Bruggelauf

Sunday, 27 September 2020

Due to the current corona rules of the Federal Council, as of 20 June 2020, the organisation of the Basel Bruges Race has decided not to hold the race this year due to “reason” and “planning uncertainty”.
The organisation has decided not to wait until 31 August, with possible further relaxation of the rules.

We ask for the understanding of everyone involved and thereby protect the athletes, visitors, passers-by and all our helpers.

OK – Basler Bruggelauf

A big thank you to the Basler Kantonalbank for the financial support despite the event cancellation.
