1. A sport that requires a lot of running.

2. Something mexicans are good at.

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

A sport in which a person crosses a country.

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.

Simply exercising.

Requires no skill, all you literally have to do is run. The easiest activity one can do and it is called a sport.

The only reason people do cross country is because they are too small or fragile to do sports like football, soccer, volleyball, or any contact sports. People don't go to Cross country events because who wants to see someone exercise for 15 minutes?!?!?!

This "sport" gets way too much publicity and the runners think that they are better than anyone else simply because they can win. they say Cross is a team event but it really boils down to an individual effort. It is a competition of who is more in shape, not who is better and smarter.

Cross runners often have many shirts explaining that they can run. Most of them are putting down true sports by saying things like, "My sport is your sports punishment"

Please! Your "sport" is exercise. My sport takes BASIC exercise and requires more skill to be able to run AND throw, kick, catch, dive, etc.

It is a sport that is tough but not as tough as a biathlon, triathlon, or any other polyathlon. This is only because biathlons and up include running plus biking, rowing, swimming, or anyother form of strenuous activity.
Cross Country is basically running on courses of different distances which can include various types of terrain.

Mexican tradition: The act of crossing the Mexican/American border wall.
