Team Donations
The Cross Country program is funded 100% by parent donations to the program. These fees go towards bus transportation, equipment replacement, timer and judge fees, meet entries, coach stipends, and more. To donate, please go to this site to make your donation: Cross Country Donation
Schedule
Please look at the schedule carefully and block out the meet dates. Cross Country is a team sport, and it is important for each runner to participate. DAL meets are mandatory and Invitationals are highly encouraged to get the full experience. Invitationals are on the weekends and give runners a chance to run on courses multiple times in a season.
Those who make Varsity will go on to NCS and potentially State Meet. These meets should be in the plans. Every year, a couple of newer runners show Varsity potential by making a lot of progress in the season.
Equipment for the Season
Quality running shoes - new running shoes at the start of each season are extremely important for injury prevention. Most kids will need trainers and racing shoes for the season. For any questions, reach out to the coaches.
For discounts and great advice on shoes. Come to Shoe Night at Road Runner Sports in Concord for Pizza and Discounts on August 19th.
