Kampala \u2014 Ugandan star runner Moses Kipsiro will have a Shs70m ($30,000) cash prize to fight for at the World Cross-country Championships due Sunday in Punta Umbria, Spain.<\/p>\n

The world athletics governing body, IAAF, yesterday announced a $280,000 (Shs644m) purse to be shared by top individual and team performers at the event. The best finisher in the senior men and women’s races will pocket $30,000 (about Shs70m) and the runner-up $15,000 (about Shs35m). The best team stands to win $20,000 (Shs46m).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kipsiro, a bronze medallist at last year’s edition, is leading Uganda’s men’s team hoping to clinch gold in the absence of Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele. With the support of Stephen Kiprotich and Geoffrey Kusuro, Kipsiro is also capable of spurring Uganda to a decent team placing.<\/p>\n

Fast-rising middle distance runner Annet Negesa is Uganda’s biggest hope in the senior women’s team.<\/p>\n
