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.
The registration includes a jersey and 5 Saturday morning meets starting September 7th through October 5th.
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)
An optional afterschool practice at St. Joseph School Cottleville is TBD.
Please register by 7/31 to ensure your runner will have their jersey on time!
