Course Titzé de Noël (Sion, SUI) - International road races - W 5km & M 7km; Another in the series of lap races around Swiss old towns; The Women's race includes most of the leading athletes from last weekend's race in Geneva - winner Feliciana Jepkosgei, Fabienne Schlumpf, Helen Bekele Tola, Gladys Jemaiyo & Sammary Cherotich.

• Eastbay Cross Country Championships (San Diego, CA, USA) - One of two US High School national XC championships; This is formerly the Footlocker Championships

Live streams/broadcasts for Tuesday 7th December to Wednesday 8th December:

Cross Country on a Wednesday. Get in! 😀

Tuesday

• Victorian State 5000m Championships (Melbourne, VIC, AUS) - Not great fields this year but, hey, we've got track and field in December!

Wednesday

• Cross Nacional Ayuntamiento de Cantimpalos (Cantimpalos, ESP) - Decent international fields here. In the Men's race one of the stars of the World Cross Country Tour, Rodrigue Kwizera (BDI), goes up against his compatriot Thierry Ndikumwenayo who he lost very narrowly to at the Cross San Juan Evangelista on Sunday. Yemane Hailesselasie (ERI), Zakaría Boufaljat (MAR but transferring to ESP) & Toni Abadia should also be at the sharp end. Chiqi Perez, possibly the strongest of the Spaniards competing, is apparently well-peeved that he wasn't selected for the European XC Champs this coming weekend; In the Women's race Liv Westphal (FRA) should be the favourite and faces many of the best Spaniards not going to Dublin such as Cristina Espejo, Beatriz Alvarez, María Jose Perez & Azucena Diaz

Saturday

• Final day of the Pan-American Junior (U23 & U20) Games (Cali, COL) - see post above

Sunday

• Fukuoka International Open Marathon Championship (Fukuoka, JPN) - WA Elite Label race; The 75th and final edition of this historic men's marathon; This year it's domestic-only but the field is still strong with 9 sub-2:08 men headed by Yuta Shitara

In the Men's Julien Wanders goes against the likes of Boniface Kibiwott, Mehdi Belhadj, Dominic Lobalu, Napoleon Solomon & Hassan Chahdi; The Women's race includes Helen Bekele Tola, Fabienne Schlumpf and some good Kenyans
• USA Half Marathon Championships (Hardeeville, SC, USA) - Good fields here; It's the last race of the 2021 USATF Running Circuit and features many of the mainstays of that series this year; The Women's line-up features Kemp, Morley, D'Amato, Rogers & Kieffer; NCAA XC champion Conner Mantz is hoping to break Ryan Hall's 59:43 NR and, if so, likely beat a field that includes Chelanga, L Korir, Lara, Zienasellassie, Maiyo & miler Eric Avila

There's 2 events in mid-week - the Victorian State 5000m Championships on Tuesday and good fields at the Cross Nacional Ayuntamiento de Cantimpalos (ESP) on Wednesday. The former is possibly streaming, the latter definitely is. So, the next major post will either be on Monday or Tuesday evening.

[Aussiestatman]

So sorry to read that. I appreciate all you do.

[LuckySpikes]

Aargh! I've just had a minor disaster involving losing the info for this weekend's streaming events. I will be able to recover most of what's going on from memory etc but it means that the post will be much later tonight, not sure when exactly.

Live streams/broadcasts for Saturday 27th November:

It's another weekend when a lot of Sunday's info is still pending so again I'm splitting the weekend into 2 posts.

It seems that (as usual) there is no streaming for the British Cross Country Trials in Liverpool.

Saturday

• Hachioji Long Distance Time Trials (Hachioji, JPN) - Men's 10,000m meeting; This is always a loaded event with a ton of Kenyan & Japanese 27/28 minute men

• Nike Cross Regionals Northeast & New York (Wappingers Falls, NY, USA) - US High School XC; Two regional meetings combined in one meeting & stream; Again, the linked Preview is decent

Live streams/broadcasts for Thursday 25th November to Friday 26th November:

Track & Field is starting back up Down Under. Due to take place before the end of 2021 are a couple of Vic Milers Club meetings, the Zatopek:10, the Albie Thomas Mile and some State championships for longer distances.

Thursday

• Victorian Milers Club Meet #1 (Box Hill, VIC, AUS) - 800m & 3000m; Not stellar fields here but they rarely are for the first meeting in the series. 20yo Abbey Caldwell is perhaps the best female athlete lining up (for both the 800 and 3000 it seems) and with her 4:07 PB at 1500 she's far better than her 800 & 3000 PBs would suggest; The Men's 3000 'A' race has a few sub-8 men including Andre Waring & Liam Cashin
• The Manchester Road Race (Manchester, CT, USA) - 4.748 miles; Good fields here as always. The Women's race includes Weini Kelati, Edna Kiplagat, Monicah Ngige, Taylor Werner, Kiera D'Amato and 2 Brits - Amy-Eloise Markovc & Sarah Inglis; The Men's is headed by Sam Chelanga, Leonard Korir, Drew Hunter, Ben Flanagan (CAN) & Don Cabral

Friday

• Abu Dhabi Marathon (Abu Dhabi, UAE) - WA Elite Label race; Strong fields here. In the Men's race 2021 World Leader Titus Ekiru goes up against the 2nd placer in that Milan race and the defending champion here, Reuben Kipyego (2:03:55 PB). There's good depth elsewhere with Philemon Rono, Barnabus Kiptum and Abel Kirui, all 2:04/2:05 athletes, and some other mainstays of the marathon such as Shumi Dechasa and Alphonce Felix Simbu; The Women's race has ten 2:21 to 2:24 athletes including Vivian Kiplagat (defending champion), Megertu Alemu Kebede, Eunice Chumba, Sentayehu Lewetegn, Bethelhem Moges, Abebech Afework & Sharon Cherop

All the links & details at https://www.dropbox.com/s/orxcz7qnx7...11-26.odt?dl=0

Next major post on Friday evening for the weekend's action including The Queen's Ekiden AKA All Japan Women's Corporate Ekiden Championship, the next leg of the World Cross Country Tour in Alcobendas (Gold meeting) and the Florence Marathon.

UPDATE - The Cross Internacional de Itálica is all on YouTube so dead easy to watch.
