Hopefully you are enjoying the cooling weather and great fall foliage as you train for your upcoming races. This is a great time of the year to run a personal best in the marathon, half marathon, 10K, or 5K. Good luck in your upcoming races.

Formal cross country competition traces its history to the 19th century and an English game called "hare and hounds" or "the paper chase". English schools started competing in cross country races in 1837, and established a national championship on December 7, 1867. It was held on Wimbledon Common in south-west London. It was the first cross country race that was considered "open", or could be run by anyone.
