The Saipan Marathon 2021, originally scheduled for March, has been postponed until further notice due to COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
The Marianas Visitors Authority announced the postponement yesterday, citing coronavirus concerns and the anticipated low demand for travel.<\/p>\n
\u201cSaipan has been able to minimize coronavirus infection with a strict entry requirement for all passengers, including a five-day quarantine period, and strong community cooperation with social distancing, mask-wearing, and handwashing,\u201d said MVA managing director Priscilla Iakopo. \u201cWe are grateful these measures have help prevent any community spread in the last five months in The Marianas. <\/p>\n
We will continue to monitor how the coronavirus and travel situation develops over the coming months.<\/p>\n
Last year, MVA still managed to hold the Saipan Marathon and 540 athletes took part in the event, which included a marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K.<\/p>\n
