A sport in its purest form. Unlike track, which is normally a race against the clock, cross country is all about beating the other runner. The only way to succeed in xc is to train harder, faster, and smarter than your rival. This is unlike many other sports that rely on mostly talent rather than training. A sport that should be respected the most, yet is probably respected the least.

Get the cross country mug.Probably one of the most competitive sports out there. If you are really competitive about it and you lose a race you want to kick someone's teeth in. If you win you get incredibly cocky about it and piss people off on purpose

bitch shut up before I shut you up that cross country race was gay

Get the cross country mug.the ultimate endurance sport. Its a 3.1 mile sprint across the worst trails possible. It takes brains to decide when to speed up, or hold back, also to execute a race plan. it takes the ultimate mental strength to continue. Do not knock on cross country until you have run the 3.1 miles in under 19 minutes.

Get the Cross country mug.A sport usually overshadowed by football. One of the most hardest and grueling sports. Yes Cross Country is a sport, just because it doesnt involve a ball doesnt mean its a sport. You have to be physically fit and be able to have the mentality to run like a crazy mofo to participate. I tried football my freshman year and switched to cross country. trust me or any other person who has done cross country and football, cross country is more demanding and harder.

Get the cross country mug.A sport that only crazy people who don't think running is a punishment do. This sport requires a lot of time, dedication, a healthy diet, and the right attitude.
Person: "Ugh, we have to run so far in PE today.
Cross country runner: "I have to run triple this at cross country so this is nothing for me"
