Cross country has begun across the land. Besides high school runners and college runners, cross country is huge among open and masters runners. The reason why cross country continues to attract? It is the beauty of running in parks, the natural challenges of the courses, the team and club atmosphere. For many us, if it is Fall, then, it is cross country.
Congrats to Garrett Heath, a Saucony runner who races the mile to 5,000 meters, and was a fine cross country runner in college, who won the road mile at the City Games in NewCastle, England today.
