The LOC had been looking at the other date(s) and were having trouble securing hotels in the region due to other events and high anticipated number of athletes/federations and support crew coming to these IAU 100K World Championships.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause on your end which is why we let you know as soon as this has been confirmed.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
