It is with great regret that the EKZ Cup has to cancel the three races in Hittnau (June 21), Eschenbach (August 23) and Egg (August 30).

In principle, the EKZ Cup races do not fall under the term "major event". However, with around 400 participants per race, the individual events are of a size that cannot be tolerated in the current situation with the ban on events until the end of August. With volunteers, spectators and, especially in the junior categories, usually more than one accompanying person per child, the mark of 1000 people per race day would be exceeded.

This is why it was not considered feasible to hold the event even under the strictest conditions, as overall organizer Heinrich Disch explains: "In the last few days and weeks, it has become clear that the term "social distancing" will be with us for some time to come. Even if there is a relaxation in the area of smaller events, we do not see any way in which the EKZ Cup could implement a strict concept with social distancing and hygiene regulations in practice."

The following races that have already been postponed remain on the calendar:
Sunday, September 13: Schwändi (GL)
Saturday, September 26: Uster (ZH)
Sunday, October 4: Wetzikon (ZH)

A decision on the organization of the remaining three races will be made by the end of June at the latest. At this time, the EKZ Cup will also provide information on the procedure for refunding registrations that have already been made and paid for.
