| Info: | Apparently mainly a sports event. NB (Dec. 2019): The website mentions 2019 as the 178th edition. Oddly, however, one photo on the facebook page announces 2019 as the 179th edition, whilst the subsequent (also undated) photo announces 2020 with the same number in its upper left corner. |
| Calculation: | In principle, the year of the first edition is based, purely arithmetically, on the count of the numbered edition(s), i.e.: (a [= year of the most recent numbered edition] minus b [= number of that edition]) plus 1 = c [= year of the 1st edition], assuming that the event has been held annually from the start, and that there has never been a gap in the continuation. NB: A first anniversary = by definition the 2nd edition. [NB²: ➺ Info]. |
