=Equipment Needed for XC= Cross Country is generally an inexpensive sport, but there are a few things that are essentials.
 * //**Training Shoes -**// A good pair of running shoes that provide support during trail running. General rule is 1/2 size larger than a perfect fit. Go to a store with salespeople who know what they're talking about//**.**//
 * **//Running Socks//** - Find something that works for you. Lighter is usually better, but personal preference works here.
 * //**Running Shorts -**// Cargo shorts will get really uncomfortable around mile 2 on a 90 degree day. When deciding on what to wear on the trails, less (within reason) is best. That just means light clothing - remember that you're representing your family and school when you're running.
 * //**Racing Spikes**// (cross country) - These are **optional**, but most serious runners will have them. If you plan on continuing on in this sport, get used to wearing spikes now.
 * //**Running Watch**// - Inexpensive will work, as long as it has lap/split function.


 * // Important: //** Runners should get used to drinking lots of water throughout the day. Right before, during, and after a run is too late. Drink early and often!! Not doing so can be extremely dangerous - I'm serious.
