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!
