EnglishWhich IAU Championship Events Are Announced on the IAU Website?
Updated
The IAU website currently features one headline championship announcement: Croatia will host the 2027 IAU 100 km European Championships, dated 8 October 2026. This is the event news highlighted on the homepage. The site also organizes its content around the association's main ultrarunning disciplines — Trail, 24 H, 50 K, and 100 K — so championship announcements are published there as they are confirmed. For the latest event news, the homepage is the starting point.
What the Featured Announcement Covers
The homepage news item states that Croatia has been selected as host of the 2027 IAU 100 km European Championships. It gives the event, the year, and the host country — the essentials for anyone tracking the championship calendar. It does not, in the excerpt available, list dates, a host city, or qualification details; those would come with fuller event information as the championship approaches.
How Championship News Is Organized on the Site
The IAU presents its sport through four discipline headings:
| Discipline | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Trail | Off-road ultradistance running |
| 24 H | Timed races of 24 hours |
| 50 K | 50-kilometre ultradistance |
| 100 K | 100-kilometre ultradistance |
Championship hosting announcements, like the Croatia 2027 item, appear as site news alongside these sections. The site describes itself as the international governing body for ultradistance running, with promoting and developing long-distance running among its main objectives — which is why host announcements for its championships are published there.
Who This Is Useful For
- Runners planning a championship attempt — knowing the host country and year is the first step in planning around a 100 km European Championships.
- National federation staff and team selectors — host announcements signal when qualification and selection timelines will matter.
- Race organizers and media — the site is the authoritative place to confirm which championships have been awarded and where.
Where to Find Further Event News
The homepage is the entry point for championship announcements. Because the site publishes these as news items, checking back — or browsing the discipline sections for Trail, 24 H, 50 K, and 100 K — is the way to see new host announcements as they are added. The Croatia 2027 item is the current example of how such news appears: a short headline naming the event, year, and host country.
