Meet Information
Hare and Hounds XC Invitational 2015
The Fifth Annual Hare and Hounds Invitational
***ENTRIES WILL BE DONE VIA ATHLETIC.NET AT THE FOLLOWING LINK: www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/Results/Meet.aspx?Me....
Cross country can be dated back to the early 1800s in England where it was a team sport in public schools. At that time, the sport was named Hare and Hounds or The Paper Chase. The sport would consist of a group of runners that would lay a trail of paper or other devices to mark a trail and another group of runners would follow the trail. In 1837, the first competition was held at Rugby School, which later turned into the sport having a course pre set over open country land. Participants sometimes had to run through streams, jump fences, and go through hedges.
Come out to McAlpine Creek Park and run a classic course on a Saturday morning.
