The decision fell on Saturday. The Mayenne prefecture has decided to cancel the 2021 edition of the Corrida de Château-Gontier which was to be played on Sunday, December 26 in the streets of the city. “We believed in it“said the organizing committee.”We wanted to go to the end. We were on the cusp of respecting the prefectural instructions. We have no regrets and accept the decision.“
But in reality, we feel a huge disappointment among the organizers (the Upac Château-Gontier club) because everything was ready. “Corrida 2021 was to be a turning point“they write. About 200 volunteers are mobilizing for this event and 1300 runners were registered for the 2021 edition. This is the second consecutive year that the sporting event has been canceled due to the unfavorable health context.
The organizers are already giving an appointment next year. The 2022 edition is scheduled for Friday December 30 at night. Hoping that the health crisis is then only a distant memory.
