Moncton awarded 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships


March 29th 2006, Ottawa – Athletics Canada is thrilled to announce that the city of Moncton, New Brunswick has been awarded the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships. The decision was made by International Association of Athletics Federation Directors in Osaka, Japan. While Canada’s bid committee delegation went to Japan intent on winning the 2008 World Junior Championships, the unanimous approval of the IAAF Council in awarding the 2010 games to Moncton and Canada is still great news.

“IAAF Council fully supports the ambitions of Moncton and Athletics Canada to organise a top class event which will promote the sport but also leave a lasting legacy in the shape of this new track,â€Â
