CROSS COUNTRY COURSE
The Herkimer County Community College cross country course is located on the vast acreage behind the athletic facilities. This scenic trail combines the earth and water to provide a challenging trek over the 3.1 mile course. A longer loop is incorporated for the men's competitions extending the course to 5 miles. Although the terrain is mostly flat, there are several short inclines that maintain high levels of intensity. The course is perfect for spectators as there are several places to observe the race.
