Running IS a team sport and the Brian Diemer Family of Races Cross Country Team Challenge allows you and four of your friends to experience it all together. This event resembles a high school-style cross country meet, using standard scoring and a 5K course. This is a team event, with 5 to 7 people per team. If you don't have a team or enough people to make an entire team, let us know and we will help you put a team together or you can run solo.
This year are back at Richmond Park in the City of Grand Rapids. The 5K course will feature mowed grass, packed dirt, and gravel. Be sure to check out the course preview video below to get an idea of what XC running looks like! Also new this year is the FREE community 1 Mile Run, which is open to both youth & adults.
