It promises to be a stellar weekend of athletics action as Ireland’s best cross-country runners descend upon Santry Demesne in pursuit of national glory and European selection at the Irish Life Health National Senior, Junior and Juvenile Even Age Cross Country Championships on Sunday (November 21).

Those coveted podium places will have all the more significance with the first three home in each of the senior, U23, and U20 races securing their place on the Irish team set to compete at the SPAR European Cross Country Championships at the Sport Ireland Campus on December 12th. European selection policy is HERE.

It looks ultra-competitive across the full schedule of competition and the 2021 edition of these championships is arguably the most open yet with a host of Olympians, national champions, and European championship medallists set to battle it out.

The action on Sunday will get underway with the U12 girls at 11:30 am (full timetable HERE) building to a crescendo with senior women’s 8,000m and senior men’s 10,000m at 13:45 and 14:25 respectively.
