The USATF Cross Country Championships

The retail director of a New Jersey running company, Jennifer Heiner works closely with the company’s co-founders and helps run the retail stores. An avid runner and marathoner, Jennifer Heiner supports USA Track & Field (USATF), the national governing and regulatory body for track and field and related disciplines, such as cross country.

In cross country, teams and individuals of all ages compete in outdoor races on natural terrains, such as open country, parks, golf courses, fields, and grasslands. Running on paved roads is minimal in cross country.

Cross country races usually take place in the fall. Various cross country events include Under 20, Open, and Masters for men and women. The first national cross country championships were held in 1883. Since then, the cross country championships have become major attractions.

USATF has set the tentative schedule of the 2022 USATF Cross Country Championships for January 8, 2022. The venue will be Mission Bay Park in San Diego California, the same venue of the 2008, 2011, and 2020 USATF Cross Country Championships. There will be six events in the 2022 edition, with over $18,000 in prizes at stake.
