The latest news is that the French Athletics Federation has also canceled the Championnats de France, Gien, France (20km - 35km - 50km) which should have taken place on Sunday 22 March 2020.
The cancellation concerns not only the Race Walking Championships, but all the competitions and is in force from today until the sanitary conditions allow the resumption.
