World Athletics and the local organising committee (LOC) for the World Athletics Half Marathon Championships Yangzhou 2022 have agreed to postpone the championships, which were scheduled to be held in Yangzhou, China, on March 27, 2022.
The event will now take place on Sunday November 13, 2022.
The postponement is due to the biosecurity measures and travel restrictions currently in place to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in China.

World Athletics and the LOC in Yangzhou are committed to the responsible planning and delivery of the half marathon championships, which includes ensuring that athletes from all international federations are able to participate and enjoy an experience that is befitting a World Athletics Series event.
More information about the championships will be released as it becomes available.
