'Elevated Heat Conditions' Force Road Events At World Athletics C'ships To Start Early
World Athletics Championships Tokyo: All road events on the first three days of the World Athletics Championships 2025, starting on Saturday, will start 30 minutes earlier than scheduled due to elevated heat conditions in Tokyo that could pose a health and safety risk to competing athletes, the Local Organising Committee (LOC) said.
The new start time for the women’s and men’s 35 Kilometres Race Walk on September 13, Women’s Marathon September 14, and Men’s Marathon on September 17 is 07:30 am.
"World Athletics (WA) and the Local Organising Committee (LOC), in consultation with the World Athletics Health & Science Department, have taken this decision that puts the highest priority on athletes' health and safety, and it has been communicated to the athletes as early as possible to allow them to prepare and adjust to the new start time,' it said in a statement.
