The Cardiff Cross Challenge, formerly known as the Reebok Cardiff International Cross-Country, McCain Cardiff Cross Challenge or British Athletics Cross Challenge #1, is an annual cross country running competition that takes place in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom. First held in 1997, it usually takes place in October or November and gained World Athletics Cross Country Tour Gold status, the highest-level designation awarded to international cross country races, in 2021.

Since October 2017, the competition features elite races of 9.6 km for men and 6.4 km for women, though the distances have varied before then. In 1997 and 1998, the race took place inside the Cardiff Castle walls, but it now takes place in Llandaff Fields.[1] The race was founded and is still organized by Graham Finlayson.[2]
