World Athletics has announced the 2024 World Athletics Cross Country Championships will not held in Medulin and Pula in Croatia.

This is due to unpreparedness of the two venues to host the scheduled February 10 2024 event

However, World Athletics is in advanced negotiations with an alternative host in Europe with a view to staging the event in March 2024.

The new host will be announced before the end of September.
