This year’s SPAR European Cross Country Championships takes place in Antalya, the fifth largest city in Türkiye, on 8 December and will be the 30th edition of the championships.
This will be the first time Türkiye has staged the SPAR European Cross Country Championships and Antalya will be the most southerly venue in the 30-year history of the championships.
This year’s championships take place in the Dokuma Park in the north of Antalya on a largely flat albeit rhythm-sapping course with sections of sand and mud for the runners to navigate across the seven races.
