This Wednesday afternoon, the organizers explained that they were still waiting for the "green light from the prefecture and the city".

"The orders for supplies have been placed, your endowments as well as your bibs are ready to be distributed" and "the village is being assembled", they wrote in a message addressed to the registrants.

The town hall finally announced in the evening that the Prom'Classic, the first major sporting event of the year in Nice, would not take place this Sunday.

The 10 km race which traditionally brings together 10,000 runners on the Promenade des Anglais, is "postponed [...] due to the negative development of the health crisis in recent days", specifies the municipality.

In its latest update, published Tuesday, the regional health agency (ARS) of Paca indicates that "the viral circulation reaches a level never observed with an unprecedented increase".

In the Alpes-Maritimes, the incidence rate has now reached 1,590 cases of Covid-19 per 100,000 inhabitants.

"As soon as sanitary conditions allow"

“Despite all the means implemented to maintain the race, Azur sport organization, in agreement with the city of Nice, sided with the opinion of the ARS and the prefecture and took the decision to postpone the Prom 'Classic at a later date as soon as sanitary conditions allow it,' explains the town hall.

Tuesday, the mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, had to give news of the next carnival in Nice, which many thought threatened.

If the mayor of Nice has assured that it will be well from February 11 to 27, this 2022 edition could very well take place without a parade, the traditional parades of floats.
