cross-country courses
Outdoor running routes
Cross-country courses are outdoor racing tracks designed for running or horseback riding over natural terrain rather than on a standard oval track.
These courses typically traverse fields, hills, woods, and streams, incorporating natural obstacles and varied elevations that test endurance and adaptability.
In equestrian sports, cross-country courses form one phase of eventing competitions, featuring solid jumps like logs, ditches, and water crossings.
The cross-country course wound through the park's wooded trails.
