The course, typically 3–12 kilometres (1.9–7.5&#160;mi) long, may include surfaces of <a href="/wiki/Grass" class="mw-redirect" title="Grass">grass</a> and <a href="/wiki/Soil" title="Soil">earth</a>, pass through <a href="/wiki/Woodland" title="Woodland">woodlands</a> and open country, and include <a href="/wiki/Hill" title="Hill">hills</a>, flat ground and sometimes gravel road and minor obstacles.

Clear markings keep competitors from making wrong turns, and spectators from interfering with the competition. Markings may include tape or ribbon on both sides of the course, chalk or paint on the ground, or cones. Some classes use colored flags to indicate directions: red flags for left turns, yellow flags for right turns, and blue flags to continue straight or stay within ten feet of the flag.

Some teams emphasize running in a group in order to provide encouragement to others on the team, while others hold that every individual should run his or her own race. In addition, whether one runs ahead of "the pack" or behind it and pull ahead in the end is important, but can vary according to the runner's individual skill, endurance, and the length of the race. Runners should also account for food intake prior to the race. Most important, however, is the training beforehand.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-7"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Equipment">Equipment</h2></div> <p>Cross country running involves very little specialized equipment. Most races are run in shorts and vests or singlets, usually in club or school colours. In particularly cold conditions, long-sleeved shirts and tights can be worn to retain warmth without losing mobility. The most common footwear are <a href="/wiki/Cross_country_running_shoe" title="Cross country running shoe">cross country spikes</a>, lightweight racing shoes with a rubber sole and five or more metal spikes screwed into the forefoot part of the sole. Spike length depends on race conditions, with a muddy course appropriate for spikes as long as 25 millimetres (0.98&#160;in). If a course has a harder surface, spikes as short as 6 millimetres (0.24&#160;in) may be most effective. While spikes are suitable for grassy, muddy, or other slippery conditions, runners may choose to wear <a href="/wiki/Racing_flats" class="mw-redirect" title="Racing flats">racing flats</a>, rubber-soled racing shoes without spikes, if the course includes significant portions of paved surfaces or dirt road.<sup id="cite_ref-NFHSRules_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NFHSRules-10"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:2010_European_Cross_Country_Championships.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/2010_European_Cross_Country_Championships.jpg/220px-2010_European_Cross_Country_Championships.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/2010_European_Cross_Country_Championships.jpg/330px-2010_European_Cross_Country_Championships.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/2010_European_Cross_Country_Championships.jpg/440px-2010_European_Cross_Country_Championships.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="426" /></a><figcaption>Runners at the <a href="/wiki/2010_European_Cross_Country_Championships" title="2010 European Cross Country Championships">2010 European Cross Country Championships</a> in <a href="/wiki/Albufeira" title="Albufeira">Albufeira</a>, Portugal</figcaption></figure> <p>In 1819, boys at <a href="/wiki/Shrewsbury_School" title="Shrewsbury School">Shrewsbury School</a> asked their headmaster, Dr Butler, if they could form a fox-hunting club, and he refused. The boys therefore formed an alternative club where instead of riding horses and chasing hounds they ran across country, with a small number of boys starting first to simulate the prey, and the rest following after an interval as though they were the chasing pack of dogs. Thus the terminology of hunting with dogs became associated with cross country running, with the leaders being called the hares, and the chasing pack the hounds. The hares carried a sack of paper scraps that they dropped to simulate their scent and provide a trail for the hounds to follow, and this sport was called <a href="/wiki/Paper_Chase_(game)" class="mw-redirect" title="Paper Chase (game)">paper chasing</a>, or Hare and Hounds. Becoming popular at the school by 1831 it had become part of the curriculum, with several courses of different lengths. The original course of a little more than three miles was over some land owned by a farmer called Tuck, and is to this day known simply as Tucks.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>These boys did not invent the idea of running across country, which had been known for centuries. Schools started the process of turning an adventurous and athletic pastime into an organised sport.

It was held on <a href="/wiki/Wimbledon_Common" title="Wimbledon Common">Wimbledon Common</a> in south-west London. It was not particularly well organised, many runners went off course, and it was declared void and had to be rerun, but it was a start and the championship has been held over the distance of 10 miles (16,093 metres) since 1877. </p><p>In 1869, <a href="/wiki/Thames_Hare_and_Hounds" title="Thames Hare and Hounds">Thames Hare and Hounds</a>, the world's first cross country running club, was formed in the same area of south west London, and the same year William C.

The Midland Counties Amateur Cross-Country Association was formed in 1879, the Northern Cross-Country Association in 1882, and the Southern Counties Cross-Country Association was established in 1883. Then also in 1883 the National Cross-Country Union was formed, with Walter Rye, the founder of Thames Hare and Hounds, as first President. In 1933 this was changed to the English Cross-Country Union because by then the other constituent countries of the United Kingdom had their own cross country associations. The Scottish Cross Country Union was formed in 1886 and held their first national championship at Lanark in March of that year, and the United States followed suit in 1887. </p><p>Over time the sacks of paper scraps gradually got discarded and courses came to be marked with flags, lines on the grass, bunting, and marshalls, with races held on farm land, through forests, and over various forms of mixed terrain with championships frequently being held on golf courses and horse racing courses. </p><p>In 1898, Harold Hardwick of Salford Harriers took a team across to France for a cross country match and in the process invented international cross country running as a sport. The <a href="/wiki/International_Cross_Country_Union" title="International Cross Country Union">International Cross Country Union</a> was formed in 1903, and the four home nations of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales started a match in that year which became a true international event in 1907 when France sent a team to compete. Other European countries sent teams during the 1920s and Tunisia sent a team in 1958. </p><p>The idea for a cross country relay originated in Paris in 1903, when the members of Stadte Francaise invited South London Harriers to Paris for a relay race of approximately fourteen miles to be held on Boxing Day, 26 December 1903.<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> It is not known whether South London Harriers took up the invitation or whether the race actually took place. The first cross country relay for which there is definite evidence was organised by Hampstead Harriers at their club headquarters, the Green Man pub in East Finchley, also on Boxing Day, Wednesday 26 December 1906. The race had five teams of three men who each ran around two miles over a snow-covered out and back course. The first man to finish was G.
