🏞️ Race Details

Cross Country 6K: Why 6K? Because that's how an easy to follow and naturally flowing course measured out. We could have made it a 5K, but it wouldn't be as fun. 6K is 1000 meters better! NOTE: Course distance is approximate.

🏆 Awards

The surface varies from close cut grass to a short section of rough trail and several kilometers of the well-groomed trail in Verdun. Verdun has a beautiful cross country course with just enough hills to make it interesting. You will be in and out of the woods, alongside two ponds, and over a stream or two (bridged, of course).
