2026 SJC Cross Country - Fall 2026
St. Joseph Cottleville Intramural Cross Country
This is a great program for kids who want:
- fitness conditioning during their fall seasons and do so with friends.
- want to pick up something new
- to be exposed to what XC is as they may be transitioning to other sports...many XC runners are multi-sport athletes
- to use it as an off-season way to stay in shape and to be social
Cross country differs from track and field as its an endurance running sport on grass. At this level, kids will only be running an easy 1 mile loop at the Knights of Columbus Cottleville fields. Tennis shoes/sneakers are fine for the younger kids if its dry but spikes or even soccer cleats may be a good idea if its wetter out.
Meets are fun and lively as you can watch from anywhere along the course...bring a boom box or a cow bell and cheer on your runner.
Parents will be asked to help volunteer with simple tasks during the meets (course guidance, timing, etc)
- Races will be on Saturday mornings starting September 12th and go through October 10th.
- Meets will start at 8am and end no later than 10.
- Instead of a uniform and to keep costs low, runners can wear any SJS gear and will be provided a numbered bib, which they will keep for each race.
