6th edition of Du Motion postponed for 2021

Dear friends, athletes, participants of the Du Motion – Runners’ Days Dubrovnik 2020!

Unfortunately, the inevitable cannot be postponed anymore. Due to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, and in coordination with the City of Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik Tourist Board and the recommendations from the Civil Protection Directorate, we have yet again had to postpone the 6th edition of Du Motion - Runners’ Days until global health conditions improve. We expect the 6th edition will take place on April 24th & 25th, 2021.

The postponement of the event for September 26th & 27th 2020 could not have been realized safely as the situation with global COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing.

We understand, of course, that this is a great disappointment for many of you. You can imagine what it feels like for us.

This was a very difficult decision to make, because we have, already twice this year, invested a huge amount of effort, energy and finance to hold the 6th edition of Du Motion – Runners’ Days Dubrovnik.

Over the past months we have closely monitored the situation with the global pandemic, hoping for the improvement and a chance to safely organize the event. However, the global pandemic situation has not changed for the better. The current situation is not only beyond our control, but also endangers the health of participants of mass events. And safety of everyone involved in Du Motion Runners’ Days comes first and foremost.

Respecting the minimum distance between people (physical distancing), the traceability of personal contacts (contact tracing), the limitation of event sizes or the uncertainty of a second wave in the autumn involve an indeterminable risk for large events like Du Motion – Runners’ Days Dubrovnik.

Under these conditions, providing you with a safe environment, great experience and high quality organisation is simply not realistic.

The postponement to 2021 is due to our responsibility towards society and the health of our runners, staff, volunteers and citizens of Dubrovnik.

All runners registered for 2020 Du Motion – Runners’ Days Dubrovnik will have following options:

- Automatic transfer of registration to the 6th edition of Du Motion – Runners’ Days Dubrovnik for April 2021. Please note, if you have already transferred your registration to 2021, you don’t have to do anything now!

We thank you for your patience and understanding as we all fight this pandemic together.

We look forward to welcoming you in Dubrovnik in 2021.
