Jacob Kiplimo and Joshua Cheptegei will lead Team Uganda at the World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Belgrade, Serbia on Saturday, March 30.

The two Ugandans have won the senior men's event at the past two editions.

Cheptegei won the senior men’s title in Aarhus in 2019 with Kiplimo taking silver and landed gold in the team contest. On the other hand, Kiplimo triumphed in Bathurst last year with Cheptegei finishing third.

The two will line up in Belgrade looking to add more medals to their tally, and they’re joined on the senior men’s team by Martin Kiprotich and Dan Kibet who finished runner-up in the National Cross Country Championships at Tororo Golf Club.

The women's team is led by national cross-country champion Rachael Chebet. She finished fourth at the 2019 global event.
