The open men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s fields are the deepest they&#8217;ve been in years, and <em>Canadian Running<\/em> will be on the course to keep you updated on all the action.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a preview of the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s races and a how-to-follow.<\/p>\n<h2>Men&#8217;s 10K preview<\/h2>\n<p>For the first time since 2012, Canada\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/the-scene\/moh-ahmed-to-make-surprise-return-to-canadian-xc-nationals-after-13-years\/\"> <strong>Moh Ahmed<\/strong><\/a> will compete for a national XC title. Over the past 13 years, Ahmed has pursued his goal of becoming one of Canada\u2019s greatest track runners. This journey earned him a world championship bronze medal and an Olympic silver in the men\u2019s 5,000m. But his 2025 track season did not go as planned: a calf injury hampered his buildup and kept him from performing at his best at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. Ahmed arrives in London as the clear favourite in the men\u2019s 10K, with several young challengers looking to pull off a massive upset.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_120499\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-120499\" style=\"width: 788px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-120499 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PHOTO-2024-08-02-15-57-38-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Moh Ahmed\" width=\"788\" height=\"526\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 788px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 788\/526;\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-120499\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Moh Ahmed recovers after the men&#8217;s 10,000m final at Paris 2024.

This year\u2019s women\u2019s field in London is deeper than it was two years ago in Ottawa, but McCabe is also more experienced; since 2023, she has represented Canada twice on the world stage (in the 3,000m steeplechase) <em>and<\/em> captured an NCAA title over 3,000m. She set this Canadian XC title as her main fall-season goal, and her third-place finish at a World Athletics XC event in Wales three weeks ago suggests she\u2019s more than ready to deliver.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_107832\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107832\" style=\"width: 788px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-107832 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/unnamed-47-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Ceili McCabe\" width=\"788\" height=\"526\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 788px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 788\/526;\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-107832\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ceili McCabe at the 2023 ACXC Championships.

Last week, Caron finished as the top Canadian at the 2025 NCAA XC Championships in Missouri, placing 14th for Penn State University.

Thomas is currently sitting out this NCAA collegiate season after transferring from the University of Connecticut to the University of Washington; during her time at UConn, she set a U23 Canadian 5,000m record of 15:17.47.
