Hill and dale.

Cross Country season runs September 8 - October 28. For those interested in competing in USATF meets, practices will continue into December. We practice three days a week 5:45pm-6:45pm in different locations. We ask that athletes attend at least two practices a week, and are welcome to come to more.

Wednesday - Big Flats Community Park

Thursday - Alternates: Tanglewood (Elmira), Pirozzolo Park (Elmira), Thorne Street Park (Horseheads)

Competition

We hold weekend XC meets throughout the season. These races are $5 per runner. These meets are for athletes 5-18 years old, with separate race distances: 2k, 3k, 4k and 5k. These are very low key meets and are great for the kids to experience competition for the first time.

For those athletes that love competition, we also travel to USATF meets toward the end of the season. These include an Association meet somewhere in Southern Tier or Western NY, a Regional meet in NY-NJ-PA, and a National meet. (This year’s National Meet is in Louisville, KY.)
