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!
