The St. Christopher Cross Country Team is open to all 4th, 5th, and 6th graders who like to run. Selected 3rd graders may be invited to join as well as siblings of those already on the team. There are no try-outs or cuts. Anyone who wants to run, can. Emphasis is on each individual doing the best that they can. However this is not a walking club. The students are encouraged to cover the distances by running.

We participate in the Nashua City Championship Cross Country Meet in mid-October. Both our Boys and Girls teams have won city championships!

The practices are not mandatory as long as the student is training on their own. The children train to run 1.5 to 2 miles at a comfortable speed. We have several "practice meets" and the students are encouraged to try and beat their best time each race. Practices are held at Sergeant Park and at Nashua High School. When we practice at Nashua High School the parents are responsible for transportation. There are opportunities for our elite runners to join the Nashua Police Athletic League (PAL) Junior Olympic Teams.

St. Christopher's has had several representatives go to regional and national meets. We have had several All-Americans (top 25 in the USA). The school season usually ends after the city meet and the PAL season continues until mid-December.
