Italian Cross Country Championships

The Italian Cross Country Championships (Italian: Campionati Italiani di corsa campestre)[1] is an annual cross country running competition that serves as Italy's national championship for the sport.

The event includes separate races for both sexes across four categories: open (senior), under-23, under-20, and under-18 (Italian: assoluti, promesse, juniores, allievi).

[2] Short races were held for men and women from 1998 to 2006 (coinciding with the period that it was an official distance at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships).

[3] Two championship races were held in 1925: one by FISA on 8 March and another by rival organisation UISA one week later.
