Are you sure the distances are right? I used to run 5k's (3 miles) in high school cross-country... that was Wisconsin.

Cross Country
In my opinion the best sport ever run it.
CC is THE BEST
GO JESUIT BLUE JAYS CC TEAM REPEAT STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
hill running/fell running
The first mention of hills used to link via 'hill running' to a redirect to 'fell running'
I think only us 'Brits' use the term fell running so I think the other way (in via hills -> hillrunning -> fell running) was probably better. Views? Linuxlad 21:09, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
European CC
Is there anyone who would like to contribute on European standards and European-style courses? I think the article needs some non-US information.119 06:02, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Excessive Advertising
A lot of material on US training camps which appears to be essentially promotiional in intent, appears to have arrived in the last week. I think it is inappropriate here, and will delete unless the poster or frriends gives some justifiacation within a week.
Now done - Here is the deletion in full It doesn't look like WP material to me (it's advertising IMHO and too US-specific too - someone should put it on a separate web-site if it is not already from one!)
