European Athletics has awarded the 2018 SPAR European Cross Country Championships to the Dutch city of Tilburg, following decision from the Council on Friday 4 November.
The 147th European Athletics Council meeting is for the first time being held in the new House of European Athletics in Lausanne this weekend.
President Hansen spoke on behalf of the Council after the announcement: “We congratulate the Dutch delegation for the excellent quality of their bid and are very confident that the strong tradition for cross country in Tilburg will help to host a memorable European Championships in 2018.”
