And so after Sesto San Giovanni in Italy also the Lugano Trophy in 2016 was forced to lower the flag.

Is today's news that the edition that was to be held on March 13, 2016 has been canceled, for the usual and unfortunately difficult to resolve reasons, due to a lack of organisational support.

Continue to resist in old Europe the leg of IAAF Challenge of Rio Maior, and Cantones de La Coruna, while is returned to the level of the Challenge B the Dudinska Patdesiatka with its 50km Dudince in Slovakia.

Hopefully this of Lugano is a temporary decision and that the organizers headed by the director Daniele Albisetti, would be able in the future to repeat again that beautiful day of race walking (dedicated to the memory of Mario Albisetti) that much success had picked up in recent years.
