Contact: Keegan Wood
Our cross country running team is open to all age levels and abilities, from grades 6 through 12. The season begins in early September and runs through to the end of October.
Running distance varies depending on age: Junior (grades 6-8) run 4kms, Intermediate (grades 9 & 10) run 5kms and Senior (grades 11 & 12) run 6kms.
We participate in approximately 3-4 "fun" meets at a variety of schools. All athletes run at a Regional meet and, if advance, a Provincial meet - locations to be determined. Practice times are after school, approximately 2 times per week, with the expectation that athletes run at home. The cost will depend on the number of participants, but usually is in the range of $30 - $50 dollars.
