Wondering if anyone on the Spotlight team has an update on the marathon? I've been going to Ibiza for 23 years and have had every sort of Ibiza holiday going! I registered to run my 3rd marathon in Ibiza last year - due to COVID it has been rescheduled to 3 October. I have only had 2-emails from Ibiza marathon since I registered last August - one confirming my place and one telling me the April event was cancelled!
I know facemasks are mandatory in the Balearics at the moment. and, as far as I am aware, gatherings of over 1000+ people are banned. There are approx 3000 runners in the 2020 marathon. I have tried contacting Ibiza marathon on Facebook, Instagram and via email and I haven't had a response. Most Autumnal European marathons have been cancelled. Do you guys have an update? I moved my flights in April but as we get to the business end of proceedings in training and COVID isn't going away - it would be great to have an update from the race organisers.
As Ibiza Spotlight has always been my oracle on everything Ibiza I was wondering if you have any insight? Zero communication from the organisers which is v unusual from a race - I know the marathon is small in comparison on Paris/Berlin/London and I do know everything is up in the air at the moment - it would just be nice to know if there are any plans on how to manage such a race? Are we going to have to wear masks when we are in the starting waves? Will we have staggered starts over a couple of hours like they are doing for many races? Are we going to need to carry the mask with us to wear once we cross the finish line? Is the afterparty still on? So many questions and no way of directing them to the right people or how to get an answer.
Hope you guys can help?! Thank you.
