Runners off to Kampala for African meet

Team Tanzania will be without a host of star athletes when they compete in this year’s African Cross Country Championship in Kampala, Uganda tomorrow.

Tanzania has failed to honour an invitation to compete at the Africa Zone VI Golf Championship in Uganda because of a tight schedule.

The national athletics team left for Beijing, China yesterday for the 5th IAAF World Championships opening on Saturday. The Championship is scheduled for August 22 to 30 in Beijing, and four Tanzanian long distance runners would jostle for laurels on behalf of the country at the event.

>Tanzania will field 24 athletes in this year’s Africa Cross Country Championships in Kampala, Uganda next month.
