Due to the uncertain weather on Saturday, the new scheduled time for the crossing is Sunday 23 July.
The final decision on the Sunday event will be made at noon on Friday, and the Organizing Committee will make a further announcement about it.
The organizers wrote that Sunday’s event is almost certain, but that the final decision will be made at noon on Friday.
Entries are also valid for the postponed appointment, and in the event of cancellation – which must be notified by 3pm on Friday – the entry fee paid and the amount of any charity products purchased will be fully refunded. A limited number of new entries will be accepted to replace withdrawn participants, and submissions will be closed when the number of entries is reached, but no later than Saturday morning at 10 am. Nominations can no longer be submitted on the site.
And those who complete the chosen distance will be richer with a voucher that entitles them to purchase tickets at a fifty percent discount for the World Championships in Athletics in Budapest.
