Cross Country

SPPS Cross Country is a competitive but fun sport that involves weekly meets in Frankfort, KY where the runners are split into “heats” based on age group (2nd to 4th grade and 5th to 8th grade) and gender (boys and girls) with each “heat” running separately.  Each of the four groups runs about a one mile course around the State Library and Archives.  The races are timed and ribbons are handed out weekly for the top twenty places in each “heat”.  We also meet once a week for a practice run, team building, and tips on running distances.  It is low pressure, low stress and a LOT of fun…with no huge expectations except to have a good time and get some good exercise!!
