It is an event. For the second time, the city of Walls hosts the French cross country championships. A very popular event.
Even if it is not the most publicized, “it is the most popular and frequented championship of the French Athletics Federation“says its president Andre Giraud.
More than 4000 athletes
This year, 4500 people are involved in the different categories. These range from the minimal to the queen category, the Elite in which athletes from the French team will run.
Some races are likely to be hotly contested. “There are some who still matter 300 to 400 competitors“, specifies the president of the French Federation of Athletics.
An ideal route for spectators
Do not panic if you think you cannot admire the athletes in full effort. As André Giraud explains, “the layout was designed so that everyone can see the competitors well to pass“.
