Cross Country is a Fall Sport,
but training begins before the season starts. Now is the best time to start
your running program so you can come into the Cross Country season prepared to
do your best in the fall races. Everyone
can learn to be a distance runner, but it needs to be acquired very gradually
and with a simple training plan provided by your coach. The following events are designed to
introduce you to running and build team unity through fun runs throughout the
summer. See you out there!
