2024-25 WESD K-8 Cross Country Championship Flier - ASU WEST December 7 

Description:

Cross Country is a great sport for those who want to challenge themselves, meet new people, and even prepare for another sport.  Athletes get to build relationships and support one another as they set goals and challenges throughout the season.  Some of our WESD runners go on to run in cross country in high school at a top level, while others use it to just better themselves socially and physically.  While there are champions, there are no losers in this sport.  Everyone walks, or rather runs away better for the experience!

Typical Start Date:

Early or Mid-September

Typical End Date:

End of October or early November
