A sport that requires people to run at minimum 2.5 miles every race against other people. Run. Not Jog. A sport that requires you to run hills, through mud, through rain and through blazing hot sunlight. Not a track. A sport that will break you harder than football, soccer or basketball. A sport that will make you cry while doing it. A sport that produces badasses. A sport that people will come out of tough AF. Mud in their shoes? Cross country runners don't care. Pounding rain? Runners don't care. Super steep hill? Power through it. Foggy forest? Cross country runners don't fucking care. Slender man chasing you? Fuck! Let's see Slenderman try to break a 20 minutes and break down, crying like a pussy!

Cross Country is in fact a sport! It involves stamina and a very strong mind. If you are going to run for miles on end, you not only have to be ready physical wise, but mentally too.
Cross country is very hard btw
Normal human:Shit. I can't run any more!
XC Runner: Hey look, I just ran 8 miles

Actuall Hell. It is sweaty. It it hot. It takes forever. And the entire time is just RUNNING. But, for some mysterious reason, people keep doing it.
Laura: Hey bro, you doing Cross Country?
Valerie: you seriously think I want to subject myself to running pointlessly though places I could just DRIVE in the heat and sweat and loss of self esteem- HELL YES.

Some people might not consider xc to be a sport, but it is. Most people don’t know how much hard work xc is. Xc requires the most dedication and hard work. Most xc teams are small, so you get a closer bond with your teammates. Bus rides to meets are lit, because you get to play paranoia with your teammates on the bus. Without xc the world would change forever.

Only considered a sport by skinny white guys, it is where people run for long periods of time with no purpose.

Also the name of an equestrian event. Competitors ride horses over a fairly long outdoor course with rustic jumps in the best time possible. Known for being quite dangerous, as you ride at considerable speed, and due to the solid nature of the jumps if your horse clips one you fall, not the jump. Incredibly addictive though, and when done right, feels like flying.
