What is Cross Country (X-C)? XC is long distance running on grass and trails. While it can be viewed as an individual sport, cross country is also a team sport with scoring based on the placement of the team's top 7 runners. This 6 week program will introduce kids to this great sport! We will cover pacing, endurance, race strategy, mental strength, confidence and also talk about the importance of good sportsmanship and fun!

Kid's will go through age appropriate workouts each week and the final class will end with a true cross country race. Kids will have the chance to experience the thrill of cross country and earn ribbons for their placing.
