Welcome to Eurocross! Eurocross is the
perfect combination of the athleticism and spectator attraction of
steeplechase with the challenge and varied terrain of cross-country. The 5K race will be the same as previous years. It will involve running multiple loops of a
1K grass and dirt course with creek crossings. The 8K race will be run on a 2K
course. The challenge of the Eurocross lies in
hurdling hay bales, sloshing through a creek, running through a forested section
and grunting up one short, but steep hill.
Aside from the obstacles, the grass course provides a refreshing break
from the road. The entire course is
visible from the spectator area, making it a crowd pleaser--so bring your fan
club! |
