    Statement on Awaremess 2

    Dear messfam, dear ECMC 2025 participants,

    In our last statement we shared information with you on a person who registered under the race number 1488, a number that is clearly linked with fascist and white supremacist ideology. This person was officially excluded from the ECMC 2025.

    A number of participants informed the Orga and Awaremess team during the event that this person came to the ECMC despite their officially communicated exclusion and the reimbursement of their championship fee. For the Orga and Awaremess Team, this was a clear violation of decision that had been made. After talks between Awaremess, Orga and the IFBMA, the decision was made to communicate to this person that they are not welcome at this event and had to leave immediately. The person complied and was accompanied to the housing. Members from Orga and Awaremess made sure that they packed their stuff and left without causing any issues or further discomfort to the participants.

    In our previous statement, we addressed the way we handled the situation and apologized for the way this decision had been communicated to the community by the Orga Team. In this statement we want to address this issue with the community and the participants of the ECMC Salzburg: In our view, clear guidelines need to be put in place for future championship organizers. If anything like this were to happen again, any decisions taken by the Orga need to be honored by all persons involved.

    Additionally, handling of the registration process needs to account for the fact, that people who are excluded from any championship or event may disrespect that decision and turn up anyway. In this case, it needs to be up to event organizers and the Awaremess team to make consistent decisions and execute them based on the desires of the community. But the question remains on what information these decisions are based…

    We do not have a conclusive take on the issue of information-based decisions. We would like to ask the IFBMA to discuss this and offer guidance to future championship organizers.

    We thank you for your trust and attention to this matter and hope that situations like this can be avoided in the future.Sincerely,

    The ECMC 2025 Awaremess-Team,
    for the main organizers

  • Green is better

    Green is better

    Cycle messengers make an important contribution to CO2-free logistics in everyday life. They cover thousands of kilometers in all weather conditions and thus contribute to the infrastructure in the most sustainable way.

    ECMC demonstrates this commitment through its sustainable approach to the event:

    • The majority of our participants (more than 90%) arrive by bike or train, or a combination of both – particularly on group rides from St. Gallen and Budapest.
    • Offering exclusively vegetarian or vegan, regional and seasonal dishes made primarily from organic produce, thereby reducing CO₂ emissions and contributing to the local economy.
    • The participants’ T-shirts are recycled and self-printed in collaboration with a local social project, Caritas Salzburg. 💜 Thank you Spicing Cycling Girls * !!
    • We will separate the rubbish into biodegradable waste, packaging, glas, paper and other waste.
    • We reduce the amount of printing and materials used to the minimum necessary.
    • We don’t produce unnecessary ECMC banners, flags or decoration, as their production is costly to the environment.

    To help us reducing pollution, please bring your own tableware: plate, cup, fork, spoon, knife.

    Thank you!

    You would just like to help and live the spirit of the ECMC?
