Cross Country Team Challenge

Running IS a team sport, and the Brian Diemer Family of Races Cross Country Team Challenge allows you and four (or more) of your friends to experience it all together.  This event resembles a high school-style cross country meet, using standard scoring and a 5K course.  If you don't have a team or enough people to make an entire team, let us know, and we will help you put a team together. We also allow participants to run without being attached to a team.This year are back at Richmond Park in the City of Grand Rapids. The 5K course will feature mowed grass, packed dirt, and gravel.  The FREE community 1 Mile Run, which is open to both youth & adults, kicks off the evening.   Here is an overview of the 2025 course, https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2330110. We expect the 2026 course to be similar. It will be well-marked, with cyclists leading the way. For a quick video on how a cross country race is scored, check out this video or simply ask us.   How to Register We tried to make
