600 athletes in total[citation needed] – competed over two days for points in 20 men's and women's track and field events. Points were to be combined to produce national team totals, and games medals awarded to the top three nations. Medals are not awarded for individual events. The top four nations also win promotion from the Third League of the European Team Championships to the Second League.[1]

Great City Games format. Events include the high jump and pole vault, and 24 athletes were scheduled to compete.[3] Plans to include street running races were reportedly cancelled.[4]
