Cross Country

More information on Chaska Cross Country, including Grades 7-8 eligibility, summer training, and 2021 registration

• The 7th and 8th graders will focus on developing positive running techniques, building relationships with their peers and coaches and mostly just having a good time while developing a passion for running! 
• We will practice Monday through Friday at the high school from 4pm-5:15pm. 
• We will race approximately once per week. Races are generally 1.5 miles in length. If a 7th or 8th grader has potential and is looking to race up at the 5k level, it is an option we can look at when the timing is right.

• 9th - 12th graders practice Monday through Friday from 3:45-5:30pm and Saturdays from 8:30-10:00am. 
• All 9th-12th graders race at the 5k level on either JV or Varsity. 
• We usually race 1 time per week with the exception of a few weeks where we have 2 races. 
• Cross country running consists of, easy social runs, interval based runs, hill workouts, track workouts, strength training, core work, relays and numerous games!
