The most important cross country event on the European calendar attracts the best distance running talents from across the continent in the U20, U23 and senior categories for both genders with a mixed relay the most recent addition to the programme.
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.

Reizi desmit gados atkal jāieliek kalendārā arī šis pasākums… :/
Interesanti, ka savulaik DS93 visai “noskrieniski” komentējis 2014. gada EČ :) Arī tagad viņš ir izlasē.
LVS kalendārā visas distances gan glīti “apaļas”, taču dabā tie metri tomēr drusku atšķirsies laikam – spriežot pēc šī Team Manual (36. lpp.), no kura nedaudz iekopēts apraksta daļā.
Precīzā norises vieta, Dokuma parks, patiesībā gan ir gabaliņu uz Z no te redzamās – kas “nozagta” no Antaljas maratona. Likās, ka kļūda nav milzīga… vismaz, [patiesībā tomēr] Rietumāzijai…
