Junior Cross Country Team

 Cross Country at Mt. Olive

Cross country is a long-distance running sport where athletes compete across open and varied terrain—including grass, hills, trails, sand, and even the occasional muddy patch. Unlike track and field, no two courses are the same—weather, footing, and natural elements make every race a new adventure.

Our program is open to all Mount Olive residents ages 6 to 14, from kindergarten through 8th grade. To participate, athletes must be at least 6 years old by December 31st of the current year.

Whether your child is new to running or looking to build on their skills, cross country is a fun, challenging, and team-oriented way to stay active and grow in confidence.
