The 6th African Cross-country Championships took place in Hammamet, Tunisia on Sunday February 25, 2024. Kenya confirmed its supremacy ahead of Ethiopia and Uganda.
Only 9 nations took part in
these resumption championships after the interruption due to Covid.
If the number of participants was not significant, however, the quality was there with the participation of the great African and world cross-country nations.
The golf course was simply extraordinarily beautiful. The number of natural obstacles and the variety of the course made this edition one of the best in African cross country.
Even the sometimes very strong wind could not prevent the athletes from giving their best, as demonstrated by the quality of the results.
It must be said also, that the perfect organization of the Tunisian federation and the warm welcome, had a lot to do with this great success.
