Cross Country Team Challenge

The Brian Diemer Family of Races Cross Country Team Challenge emphasizes running as a team sport, welcoming groups of 5 to 7 to compete on a cross country course in Grand Rapids' Richmond Park. Open to both youth and adults, the event offers a team experience with scoring akin to a high-school meet. Don't worry if you're without a team; organizers can assist in team formation. Awards sponsored by Gazelle Sports recognize various categories, including overall top teams, masters, and the most spirited group. The FUN Run Mile is available, albeit untimed and without awards.
