Decisions to be taken by forthcoming meetings of WMRA Council and Congress

WMRA Council have their next meeting on 13th January 2007.
This meeting will decide the venues for the 2008 European and World Masters championships and applications are invited.
WMRA also want to develop the ‘WMRA Youth Challenge’ event for 16-17 year old athletes that has been started and run successfully by Atletica Susa (Italy) for the past few years. Other countries are therefore invited to consider staging this event that we consider very important for feeding young athletes into the more severe World Trophy competition for juniors and eventually seniors. No decision about the 2008 venue will be taken for the moment but we are seeking a response from interested organisers.
The 2007 WMRA Congress in September 2007 will consider and vote on official applications to stage the 2009 World Trophy which is an up & down year.
The 2008 WMRA Council will meet in January as usual and decide on the venues for the 2009 World Masters and the 2009 World Long Distance Challenge.
