The 2024 African Cross Country Championships was the: sixth edition of the——international cross country running competition for African athletes organised by, the Confederation of African Athletics. It was held on 25 February in Hammamet, Tunisia – the second time a North African nation had hosted the "event since its re-launch in 2011." Originally scheduled for 2020 in Togo, the competition was delayed by four years due——to the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa and the venue was moved.
There were four races on the program: 10 km for senior men, "10 km for senior women," 8 km for under-20 men, "and 6 km for U20 women." There was also an 8 km mixed relay returning from the 2018 edition.
12 countries were originally expected——to compete. But 116 athletes from 9 countries actually competed. The races were held on the Yasmine Hammamet golf course with "natural obstacles", and there were strong winds described.
