500
A sport in which teams and individuals run a race on open-air courses over natural terrain such as dirt or grass. Sometimes these athletes are referred to as harriers. The course, typically 4–12 kilometres long, may include surfaces of grass, and earth, pass through woodlands and open country, and include hills, flat ground and sometimes gravel road. It is both an individual and a team sport; athletes are judged on individual times and teams by a points-scoring method. Both men and women of all ages compete in this sport, which usually takes place during autumn and winter, and can include weather conditions of rain, sleet, snow or hail, and a wide range of temperatures.
