Irish clubs set to battle it out at European Club Cross Country Championships

Seven Irish clubs will join the cream of continental club cross country running at the European Champions Clubs Cup Cross Country in Albufeira, Portugal on Sunday (Feb 25th).

98 teams featuring 379 athletes will take on the undulating route, making it the biggest edition in recent years.

It is the 12th time in which Albufeira has hosted a version of the championships, which has a history stretching back to 1962. It is also on the same course which hosted the 2010 SPAR European Cross Country Championships.

The eight Irish teams secured their place by virtue of their first and second place team finishes at the Autumn Open (Mixed Relay) and 2023 National Cross Country Championships in Gowran.

Each club will be looking to replicate some of the success enjoyed by Irish teams in recent editions. Last year saw Irish clubs secure five top-8 finishes, while Ennis Track took home the men’s U20 title in 2021.
