The WMA indoor championships in Jyväskylä will be organised from 3.-8.4.2012 in the Hippos Hall with the throwing events in the open-air Harju stadium. The half-marathon will be run on the beautiful pedestrian/cycle path that circles Lake Jyväsjärvi in the centre of the city. The WMA indoor championships are expected to attract 3 000 competitors from 60 countries. Practical arrangements for the championships will be the responsibility of the City of Jyväskylä and Jyväskylän Kenttäurheiljat in partnership with other athletics clubs in the region.
