The 2025 edition of the Cardiff Cross Challenge will be sponsored by SportsShoes.com and Nike.
SportsShoes are the UK’s number one online retailer for run, gym and hike. Their aim is to help their customers lead happier and healthier lives through running and fitness. Meanwhile, Nike’s mission is to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world.
James Williams, CEO at Welsh Athletics shared:
We are delighted to announce that SportsShoes and Nike will once again be sponsoring the 27th edition of the Cardiff Cross Challenge for the fourth year.
The event proudly holds a prestigious Gold Label status in the World Athletics Cross Country Tour and will host the opening fixture of the UK Cross Challenge Series, offering athletes an excellent opportunity to compete against the best in Britain ahead of the European Trials in Liverpool two weeks later.
The 2025 edition will also stage the UK Team Trial for the Mixed Relay Team at the SPAR European Cross Country Championships, attracting many of the country’s top middle-distance athletes and setting the stage for a fiercely competitive race.
We continually strive to align with partners who share our ambition to provide athletes with the best possible experience and to raise performance standards across the UK.
Gavin Bannister, Senior Brand Manager at SportsShoes added:
We are delighted to be sponsoring the Cardiff Cross Challenge for 2025. The race is one of the most highly regarded on the calendar and we are excited to support an event that allows athletes to begin their cross country campaigns at one of the most competitive races in the UK.
