Cross-country is a sporting activity offered to all learners during the winter months. It teaches them how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, endurance and good sportsmanship. They sometimes run on uneven terrain and/or through water. It keeps them fit for other sports, and concentration is improved in classes as a result of the exercises.
