The 2024 Cross Country season is here!
It is time to race!
560,000 boys and girls in high school are running cross country this fall.
After six weeks of the season (for some, eight weeks), racing is coming along well.

Elite athletes love hill work, as it can replace speed work, help build strength and can be done anywhere you can find an incline!
