Athletics Australia will announce the 28 members of the Australian team for the World Athletics Cross Country Championships Bathurst 2023 on Monday, 30th January at Hickson Road Reserve.

Rain, hail or shine, nothing stops the cross-country greats as they navigate terrains both natural and man-made to be crowned not just world champion but also recognised as the world’s toughest runner.

Members of this team will be the first Australians to compete in a World Athletics Series meet on home soil for 27 years – a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most.
