Cross Country

Cross Country conditioning begins 2 weeks after the conclusion of our Track season. This is usually the 3rd week of June. We will run together 2 days a week at Sharon Woods Metro Park and 1 day a week at Highbanks Metro Park. We will continue working 3 days a week until the first week of August when official required practices are allowed to begin 5 days a week.

Cross Country races are 5k (3.1 miles) long in high school. Our season carries us through the end of October. Once the season concludes, athletes are asked to take a 2 week break and then we return to our 3 day a week running schedule. We will begin to add some strength conditioning as we prepare for Winter Track season.

Cross Country athletes are strongly encouraged to run Spring and Winter Track + Field. Keeping their mileage up and improving while taking the two off seasons to work on their strength, stability, and speed.
