Due to the significant amount of extra work for the organisers that the change of 25-manna arena has entailed, the competition organisers and the 25-manna association have together taken the decision not to hold the new 10-person relay format this year. The 25-manna association hopes instead to introduce it in 2020.
For the same reason, unfortunately the middle distance race will not be a WRE (World Ranking Event) for 2019.
