The next Cross-Country race will be the 2 by Metric Mile Trail Relay on Oct. 1, on the same Cross- Country course in Negro Bay. Teams consisting of tw athletes each will be competing against each other. Each athlete on the team will run 1500 meters, which is just short of a mile, on the smaller loop of the course.
