It is important to remember that cross-country running is different from running on roads. The course is somewhat unpredictable. Depending on what God has in store for the weather, the course could be wet and muddy or dry and hard. It is important to be prepared for all conditions when running a cross country course and to be alert for unanticipated obstacles on the trail such as mud, rocks, roots, twigs, and animals. Note: The trails will be groomed before the race, but we cannot control nature, so keep your eyes open.
In the end, a cross-country course should be very enjoyable for you. You will challenge your mind and body while at the same time, appreciate the beauty of your natural surroundings |
