Races average between 30-80 kids per race. The younger grades are the bigger races.
Parental involvement is encouraged at practice and helping at our home meet.
Practices are fun and demanding. The focus is on fitness and improvement for the individual within a team environment. The sport builds self confidence and running has been shown to improve academic performance. Cross country will improve endurance for spring and winter sports. (Note other concurrent CYO fall sports will typically conflict with the Cross Country practice & meet schedule).
**NEW for 2023 SEASON (Same for 2024)** - Runners must attend at least 1 practice per week to be eligible to run in Sunday's meet.
