What is "cross-country"?
Cross-country refers to a type of race or event that involves covering long distances across natural terrain, which may include fields, hills, forests, or other varied landscapes. It can be done in different forms, such as running, riding, skiing, or driving, depending on the sport. The goal in cross-country events is to complete the course as quickly as possible, often while navigating challenges like uneven surfaces, changing weather, and different elevations.
