Cross-country is a running sport where individuals or teams race over natural, outdoor terrains such as grass, dirt, and hills, as opposed to a standard track. Races vary in length depending on age, gender, and competition level, with distances often around 5 kilometers (3.1 miles). The sport requires endurance and skill to navigate the varying, often challenging, surfaces and can be influenced by weather conditions like rain.
