In general, international event courses are loop courses that incorporate existing natural objects but avoid high obstacl Cross-country, also called cross-country running, long-distance running over open country; unlike the longer marathon race, cross-country races usually are not run along roads or paths.

  • A Brief History of the World Cross Country Championships
    A Brief History of the World Cross Country Championships The first 70 years The World Cross Country Championships, often considered the toughest footraces on the planet, may be more difficult to win than the Olympics or the World Championships in Athletics. The predecessor of the World Cross Country Championships was the International Cross Country Championships, inaugurated in 1903. With only four countries (England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland) initially participating, these championships could hardly be considered “international” during their early years. However, by 1972, when 197 runners from 15 countries competed, the championships had gained international stature. Three great runners — Jack Holden (GBR), the 1950 European marathon champion; Alain Mimoun (FRA), the 1956 Olympic marathon champion; and Gaston Roelants (BEL), the 1964 Olympic 3000mSC champion — won four individual titles during the days of International Cross Country Championships. In the women’s event, Doris Brown won five straight championships from 1967 to 1971. Many Olympic medalists won the International Cross Country Championships. Jean Bouin (FRA), who won the silver medal at 5000m in the 1912 Olympics, won three championships from 1911, while Mohammed Gommoudi (TUN), who won the 5000m in the 1968 Olympics, also won the International Cross Country Championships in the same year. Franjo Mihalic (YUG), Rhadi ben Abdesselem (MAR), and Basil Heatley (GBR), all Olympic marathon silver medalist, won the International Cross Country Championships. However, because participation was generally limited to runners from nations that were members of the International Cross Country Union (ICCU), the championships were not truly “world” in scope. In fact, Emil Zatopek (CZE), 1952 Helsinki triple gold medalist, and Vladimir Kuts (URS), 1956 Melbourne double Olympic champion, never competed at the International Cross Country Championships.

With only four countries (England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland) initially participating, these championships could hardly be considered “international” during their early years. However, by 1972, when 197 runners from 15 countries competed, the championships had gained international stature. Three great runners — Jack Holden (GBR), the 1950 European marathon champion; Alain Mimoun (FRA), the 1956 Olympic marathon champion; and Gaston Roelants (BEL), the 1964 Olympic 3000mSC champion — each won four individual titles during the days of International Cross Country Championships. In the women’s event, Doris Brown won five straight championships from 1967 to 1971. Many Olympic medalists won the International Cross Country Championships. Jean Bouin (FRA), who won the silver medal at 5000m in the 1912 Olympics, won three championships from 1911, while Mohammed Gommoudi (TUN), who was second at 5000m in the 1968 Olympics won the International Cross Country Championships in the same year. Franjo Mihalic (YUG), Rhadi ben Abdesselem (MAR), and Basil Heatley (GBR), all Olympic marathon silver medalist, won the International Cross Country Championships. However, because participation was generally limited to runners from nations that were members of the International Cross Country Union (ICCU), the championships were not truly “world” in scope. In fact, Emil Zatopek (CZE), 1952 Helsinki triple gold medalist, and Vladimir Kuts (URS), 1956 Melbourne double Olympic champion, never competed at the International Cross Country Championships.
