BELIZE CITY, Mon. Jan. 11, 2016–Belize will be hosting the 10th Central American Cross Country Championship in Athletics. This event is sponsored by CADICA, the Central American Track and Field Organization.

The event is set to take place on Saturday, February 20, at the Roaring River Golf Course in Roaring Creek Village, Cayo. Runners from all countries in Central America will converge into Belize for this event. Approximately 125 persons will be hosted in Belize for the meet.

Belize hosted this event some years ago, but this is the first under this new executive. We hope to make a good showing, with the participation and sponsorship of a number of business sponsors and the Ministry of Sports.

The Belize Athletics Association (BAA) will be having a national competition on Saturday, January 30, to select athletes to represent at the event in February.

Any and all interested persons should contact the BAA as early as possible to register. Contact can be made on our facebook account or email belizeathleticassociation@gmail.com.
