In an attempt to keep their distance runners sharp ahead of the March's North American, Central America and Caribbean (NACAC) Cross Country Championships, the Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association (JAAA) will stage another event at the Kirkvine Sports Club in Manchester tomorrow.

The NACAC Cross Country Championships is set for March 8 in Clermont, Florida, and organiser and JAAA executive, Alfred Francis, said his administration will be doing everything in its power to keep the athletes active.

The JAAA has also attracted prizes from Pepsi/Gatorade for the athletes.

Like the National Championships, which was held on December 15, the event will start at 9:00 a.m.
