TCTC offers Cross Country running in which runners compete to complete a course over open or rough terrain faster than other runners. Athletes run mainly on a course, which may include grass, dirt, mud, and woodlands. The races distance range from 2,000 to 5,000 meters. Boys and girls do not compete against each other, although they may sometimes run in the same races due to time constraints at meets.
