World cross country champion Hellen Obiri is tipped to take the honours in Saturday's Northern Ireland International Cross Country meeting at the Billy Neill MBE Country Park in Dundonald.
The event is part of a World Athletics Silver Cross Country Tour and also incorporates the Celtic Games, Home Countries and British Cross Challenge.
Underfoot conditions could be challenging for the some 600 athletes competing, but 32-year-old Kenyan Obiri has already poved her class in slippery conditions having defeated Didi of Ethiopia two years ago in Denmark.
