The 2019 IAAF World Cross Country Championships were hosted in the city of Aarhus in Denmark.

A part of the course was run on the grounds and grass roof of the Moesgaard Museum.

[1] The race was held in challenging conditions, due to the very muddy course and steep hills.

[2] The senior men's race was won by Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei, while the senior women's race was won by Kenyan Hellen Obiri.

In keeping with past events, all five races, including the mixed relay, were held in the middle of the day.
