World Athletics Cross Country Tour
The IAAF had organized a series of cross-country running races - the World Cross Challenge from 1990/91 - 1999/2000. In 2021, World Athletics started a new event - the World Cross Country Tour. The point system was always the same: the runners accumulated points (according to the achieved ranking in the race) of three meets during the series.
