# 2023 Cross de Atapuerca

The 2023 Cross de Atapuerca, officially the 2023 Cross Internacional de Atapuerca, was the 19th edition of the international cross country running competition held in Atapuerca, Province of Burgos, Spain on 29 October 2023. It was the second leg of the 2023–24 World Athletics Cross Country Tour Gold, the highest-level global series of cross country competitions.

## Recap

Jacob Kiplimo and Beatrice Chebet won the two races. The win was encouraging for Kiplimo, who was recovering from a hamstring injury in August. The courses were marred by wind and rain.

## Results

In combination with two other eligible cross country races, points from the 2023 Cross de Atapuerca could be used to qualify for the 10,000 metres track race at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The top eight athletes ordered by total score (summed from their top three cross country performances) were granted automatic qualification, respecting the maximum three athletes per country.
