Website for 36^th IAAF World Cross Country Championships

The 36^th IAAF World Cross Country Championships takes place in Edinburgh, Scotland on 30 March 2008, and the local organising committee have officially launched their website for the championships.

The venue will be Holyrood Park, which hosted the EAA Cross Country Championships in 2003.

The forerunner of the IAAF World Cross Country Championships was the International Cross Country Championships which were first staged at Hamilton Park Race Course, Hamilton, Scotland on 28 March 1903. Therefore Scotland’s hosting of the 2008 edition will be a physical as well as a spiritual coming home for the discipline of cross country running.
