Cross-Country

That is the face of a Cross-Country runner.

The race doesn’t start when the sound of the horn blasts across the field; neither does it end the moment she passes the finishing line. The true race of a runner starts the moment she commits herself to running, and will never end till she fulfils her ambition to win.

Ask any runner, and she will tell you running Cross-Country is far from easy.

The Cross-Country run teaches you the true meaning of commitment, discipline and perseverance. It is the sheer confidence at the starting line, the persistence that carries you through the distance and raw determination that enables you to cross everyone's goal: the finish line.

The values you inherit from this sport stay with you for life; the training and the miles teach you endurance and resilience.

When you look back and think about Cross-Country, you realise the medals and the individual achievements are satisfying, but the friendships made are priceless. You cherish the warmth of a teammate encouraging you, the times you had as a team, and the values so deeply carved into your heart through the hours and hours of training.

You appreciate the strength and stamina to run and complete the most demanding marathon, life.
