The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has postponed the maiden edition of the National 10km Cross Country Championships, slated to hold in Jalingo on January 28, 2003.
In a letter released and signed by its Secretary General, Rita Moshindi, it says the postponement became necessary following complaints by the athletes that the scheduled date is too close to the Access Bank Lagos City Marathon, which holds on Saturday February 4, 2023.
