Calabasas Cheetahs Cross Country & Track and Field

Cross Country

Cross Country is great for distance and mid-distance runners as well as soccer players, or any athlete.  Cross Country season is from late August to early December!

The Cheetahs practice on various local trails on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays from 6-7:30 pm and Some Saturday's unless we are at a competitive meet that week.

Each year, some of our athletes qualify for nationals, which extends the season for those who decide to participate until late November or early December.

Check in with Coach Kevin or Coach Kathleen about running with us on upcoming fun runs. 

Meets continue through the end of October and we'll have opportunities between now and then, and again as we near the start of Track and Field season in February. 

Depending on age, athletes compete at distances of 2K, 3K or 4K.

We LOVE to have parents run with us, from the very first fun run until the last week of the season.

The trails are beautiful, the people are nice. You AND  your kids should join us!

Cross Country's Historic Roots

The sport’s origins date back to early 19th century England, when students played a game called “hunt the hare"—also known as a "hare and hound run"—in which one or two boys, or the “hares,” would get a head start and lay a trail of shredded paper. A few minutes later, a larger group—the “hounds”—would follow in hot pursuit across miles of boggy English countryside. The object was to catch the hares before they reached a predetermined location.
