Welcome to the 2025 Cross Country season!

We are looking forward to a great cross country season. This program is for kids from grades K-8. We are targeting to have 2 practices a week on Monday and Wednesday with meets on Saturday.

Running is meant to be fun for kids and we encourage the kids to enjoy themselves. We have some competitive runners but also kids just getting started. Running is something all kids can do, so we encourage you to come out and try. We welcome kids of all ability and experience levels. If your kid has not been into team sports, have them give running a try.

Our goal is to get more kids active and to have fun. We promote a running environment built on enthusiasm, self-belief, hard work, goal setting, determination, good sportsmanship, community awareness and friendship. We also have a focus on mechanics, efficiency, nutrition, speed and trail stewardship.

Race Distance

The race distance is based on grade and we usually run the boys and girls separate:

Grades K-2: 400 meters

Grades 3-5: 1500 meters

Grades 6-8: 2000 meters

Practices

We will have practices on Monday and Wednesday. We will start with the practices around 5:30-6:30. The practice location will be at Saint Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers (about 15 mins from SJP).

Meets

Meets are held on Saturdays at Saint Josephs Seminary (SJS) in Yonkers. The course has a great set up which allows you to see the kids running at different points along the course.
