TILM CANCELLED
June 3, 2015: It ‘a few hours ago the news that the two International swimming races of the Lake Manphrémagog (10 km and Grand Prix), in Canada, part of the FINA circuits, have been canceled by the organizers.
The races were scheduled, respectively, on July 31 and August 1.
After exiting from the calendar of the FINA Grand Prix race: Santa Fe-Coronda (ARG), then, another classic and historic marathon, with its 36 editions, comes out from the world calendar.
By virtue of these outputs, we imagine a serious reflection on the future, imagining new possibilities for the long and historic marathons in the world open water swimming.
