The Sirikwa Cross Country Classic is an annual cross country running race held in Eldoret, Kenya.

The first edition was held in 2022 and was named the Agnes Tirop Memorial Cross Country.[1] In 2023, it assumed the current name - referencing an Iron Age tribe from the region.[2] It is held in Lobo Village, on land owned by three-time Boston Marathon winner, Ibrahim Hussein.[3]
