What the EA has done over the past decade with their Cross Country Championships has been outstanding. The European Federation Championships in cross country shows health in participation (613) and in developing younger athletes, with 213 in the U20 races and 171 in the U23 races. In the continent that built cross country into a great sport, the EA continues to make this event a real trail blazer.
