Athletics Kenya (AK) has confirmed the 2022/23 cross country season calendar which gets underway with the first race in Machakos on 15 October 2022. The curtains will fall on the season with the national cross country championships at the Prisons Staff Training College in Ruiru on 21 January 203.
A World Cross Country Tour event, the Sirikwa Classic, is scheduled for the Lobo Village in Eldoret on 4 February 2023.
The cross country season is expected to serve as part of the selection process for the Kenyan team to the World Cross Country championships set for Bathurst, Australia on 18 February next year.
It will be the event’s 44th edition and the second time after Auckland in 1988 that the event will take place in Oceania.
In March 2020 the course was revealed, to be held in the infield of the Mount Panorama Circuit.
In December 2020, the event was postponed from 2021 to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Australian travel restrictions.
The event was once again postponed to 2023 in September 2021, due to Australian travel restrictions
