2000 RUNNER\u2019S FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE ARE SET TO BATTLE IT OUT AT THE PRESTIGIOUS CARDIFF CROSS CHALLENGE FOR THE 27TH<\/sup> EDITION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the jewels in Cardiff\u2019s sporting crown will attract athletes from across the globe to the capital on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the world\u2019s finest runners, including the man dubbed \u201cEurope\u2019s fastest teenager\u201d will compete in the annual Cardiff Cross Challenge at Llandaff Fields on the outskirts of the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the fourth year in a row, the fixture has achieved the prestigious World Athletics Cross Country Tour Gold Label – the only cross country race in the UK to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 2,000 competitors aged from under-11 to over 65 will take part in a 10-race programme contested over a fast, twisting and technical course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 27th<\/sup> staging of the event, entries have flooded in from as far afield as Burundi, Ethiopia, Ireland, Kenya, Netherlands, Denmark, Morocco and Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Runners from across the length and breadth of the UK will also do battle in the first fixture of the annual British Athletics Cross Challenge Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, club runners from across South Wales and the South West of England will literally rub shoulders with Olympians and national champions as the event incorporates the second fixture of the John H. Collins Gwent Cross Country League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the stand-out entries in the men\u2019s senior race is rising teenage star Niels Laros. The 2024 European Athletics Rising Star award recipient finished sixth in the 1500m final at the Paris Olympics, setting a new European Under-20 record of 3:29:54.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining the world Under-20 1000m record holder are four compatriots. They include Stefan Nillessen, who finished ninth in that Paris final and won the 2023 European Under-23 1500m title, as well as 2023 Dutch 1500 champion Robin Van Riel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning to defend his senior men\u2019s title at the Cardiff Cross Challenge is Keneth Kiprop. The Ugandan led from the start last year and held off the challenge of Kenya\u2019s Vincent Mutai to win with a sprint finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Leading domestic hopefuls include English stars Zak Mahamed, who finished fourth at last year\u2019s event, and 2024 British Indoor 3,000m silver medalist Charles Wheeler. Spectators won\u2019t be seeing double at the event as Wheeler\u2019s twin George is also entered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welsh hopes will rest with the likes of Osian Perrin, who represented Great Britain at the 2021 SPAR European Cross Country Championships and won 3,000m silver at the 2023 British Indoor Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The talented triathlete will be joined by Great Britain & Northern Ireland International Dafydd Jones and James Heneghan who was part of the GB team which finished fifth in the mixed relay at the 2022 SPAR European Cross Country Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The senior women\u2019s race boasts an equally impressive international and domestic line up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenya\u2019s Sheila Jebet finished fourth in the 2024 World Under-20 Cross Country Championships race, while Charity Cherop, of Uganda, claimed bronze over 5,000m at the World Under-20 Athletics Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tsige Teshome was the Silver Medalist at the Ethiopian U20 Championships at 1500m this summer, earning a place at the World U20 Championships in Lima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking to run into form ahead of the European Cross Country Championship trials in Liverpool next month, like many of the other top British runners taking part, will be Alex Bell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Izzy Fry is another Brit with impeccable cross country credentials having won gold at the 2022 World Universities Cross Country Championships.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home favourite Cari Hughes who has chalked up personal bests at 1500m, 3,000m and 5,000m on the track this season, is no stranger to the Cardiff Cross Challenge having finished third in the Under-20 race in 2018.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moli Lyons is another top Welsh prospect in action in the women\u2019s race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The age group races on Saturday are equally stacked with talent, especially in the women\u2019s races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The women\u2019s under-20 start list features prodigious young British talent Innes FitzGerald.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is more Welsh talent in the men\u2019s Under-20 race, including Iwan Thomas who represented Great Britain at the European Under-18 Athletics Championships and the World Under-18 Mountain Running Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, a host of other talented young Welsh runners will feature in the programme of younger age group races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is sponsored by the UK\u2019s no. 1 online retailer for run, gym and hike, Sportsshoes.com for the third year in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the agreement, Sportsshoes.com will sponsor the senior men\u2019s and senior women\u2019s races as well as providing prize vouchers for the U13, U15 and U20\u2019s races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPAR UK will also be sponsoring the Cardiff Cross Challenge and will be providing prizes for the top three athletes in all junior races as well as offering all runners and spectators discount vouchers for their new local store in Llandaff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The action gets under way at 11.02am on Saturday morning with the girls under-11 race, following a two-minute silence ahead of Remembrance Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will be live streamed and available to watch on YouTube via this link: <\/strong>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/PR6QJfXsVI8?si=7-1NDjoey2ya8WP1<\/strong><\/a>      <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
