World Athletics has made changes to the World Cross Country Championships calendar yet again with events switching to odd years after the 2026 edition.
World Athletics has once again made changes to the World Cross Country Championships calendar, moving the event from being held in even to odd years.
The event which was held this year with the next edition set to be held in 2026 will now shift to odd years after the 2026 edition in Tallahassee, meaning 2027 will host another event before it goes on to 2029.
“With the introduction and rescheduling of certain World Athletics Series events, the global calendar has become much more crowded in certain years,” said World Athletics in relation to the changes.

Sha’Cari Richardson’s multimillion luxury house that makes her feel at home with boyfriend Christian Coleman
Track and field stars have invested in new homes this year but American sprint queen Sha’Carri Richardson has been enjoying the trappings of a multimillion house for the last two years.
“To address this, the World Athletics Council has approved the Competition Commission’s recommendation to move the World Athletics Cross Country Championships from ‘even’ to ‘odd’ years, to be introduced after the World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Tallahassee in 2026.”
It is yet another change to the way the event is held since being moved from an annual to a biennial event from 2011 with the argument being that fans were ‘tired’ of seeing Kenyans and Ethiopians win every year.
This did not, however, stop the two countries from winning as their formidable records have remained even after the changes.

Track invader who tried to disrupt Noah Lyles & Kishane Thompson’s Olympics 100m final handed hefty fine
The Australian man, who attempted to disrupt the men’s 100m final race at the Paris Olympics, will have to pay over Ksh1 million in fines for the incident.
The senior men's team race was won by Ethiopia or Kenya every year from 1981 to 2017 in both the short and long races and in the senior men's 12 km race, Kenya won it for 18 years in a row, from 1986 through 2003, a record of unequaled international success.
On the women's side, only one other nation has won the long team race since 1991, namely, Portugal in 1994.
Uganda have also emerged as a threat in recent years with runners from the country winning the last three senior men’s titles, Jacob Kiplimo with the last two, but in the women’s category, Kenyan women have claimed the last eight senior crowns with Beatrice Chebet winning it in 2023 and 2024.
