Cross Country is long distance running over different types of terrain. The course can consist of grass, dirt (mud), sand, concrete, and asphalt. The race may include hills, valleys, roads, sidewalks, and trails. The race is run rain or shine. As a no-cut sport, Cross Country welcomes runners of all skill levels who are willing to dedicate themselves to working on improving their running technique, endurance, and speed. Whether it takes them one season or four to qualify for the varsity team, all runners should hold this as a common goal.
