The best sport ever, because there are no skills involved, it is purely a measure of how badly you want to win, and how much and for how long you are willing to sacrifice your body to win. cross country gets hardly any publicity, which makes it so that the athletes aren't doing it for fame or fortune, they are doing it to try and prove that they are tougher than the next guy

A difficult sport that involves lots of long distance running. Cross country involves running about 5-12 miles a day for practice, and 5 kilometers for every race at the high school level. Cross country is somewhat related to track. However, track is shorter distances over a rubber surface while cross country is a long distance race over grass and/or trails.

The toughest and best sport of all. Takes extreme amounts of dedication and skill to be good at. Besides being a physical sport, cross country is also mental and the top runners must be able to push even when they are tired. People on the team run no matter what, even if there is rain, sleet, snow, ect. Some people make fun of cross country runners and claim it isn't a sport, but they are just jealous that they are out of shape and can't run more than 1/4th of a mile. And no, we are not gay just because we wear short shorts.
