The 2022 Western Region inter-districts cross country is slated for 21st and 22nd January
The western regional sports authority wishes to inform the general public of the next edition of the National cross country which has been slated for Akim Oda from 17th-19th February 2022 in the Eastern region.
As part of the preparation for the event, the Western Region directorate will host the Regional cross country as stated below.
Date: 21st – 22nd January 2022
Venue: Sekondi Sports Stadium
The competition which is dubbed RUNNING TOWARDS 2023 AFRICA GAMES
All the 14 Districts and Municipalities in the Region are expected to present Twelve (12) athletes each comprising of 6 males and 6 females to participate in the event.
The 2022 Inter-districts cross country has a dual objective of qualifying athletes at the Regional level to represent the region at the National cross country as well as participation in the Ghana Games which will serve as the biggest platform for the selection of athletes into the national teams to represent the country in the 2023 Africa Games to be hosted by Ghana.
At the end of the Inter-districts cross country, the best athletes, six (6) males, and six (6) females would be selected for a month camping to represent the region at the National cross country in the Eastern region.
Meanwhile, opportunities will also be given to individual athletes in the region who could not get selected at the District to run on a non-scoring basis in the region to justify their inclusion in the Regional Team and thus qualify for some prize awards. Such individuals must register with the Authority at a fee of Twenty Ghana cedis (GHc20)
Speaking to this, the western regional director of NSA Mr. Joseph Alabi Bortey has pleaded with corporate entities to come on board so together they can unearth the needed talents to the benefit of the country as a whole and it’s his prayer and hope that the Regional Sports Authority gets the needed support to make the 2022 Regional cross country a success
