Cross Country Team Challenge

The Cross Country Team Challenge is a team-based running event held at Richmond Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Scheduled for July 16, 2025, it features a 5K course that mimics a high school cross country meet with standard scoring. Teams consist of 5 to 7 runners, with the top five finishers contributing to the team score.

The course includes mowed grass, packed dirt, and gravel, and is well-marked with cyclists leading the way. A new addition is a free 1-mile community fun run open to all ages. The event offers chip timing, youth pricing, and various awards sponsored by Gazelle Sports. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
