Welcome to the webpage for The Twelfth Annual Cross Country Cherokee Challenge!

This unusual meet, with its shorter racing distances, class scoring, and unique coed team scoring, provides a great, low-key opportunity for runners to begin the competitive season, and we hope you "took the Challenge" this year!

This year, 2007, more than 90 teams were represented -- with over 1700 athletes finishing their races -- and, despite some early rain, everything went off without a problem! Congratulations to the Ocean City High School Boys CC team and the Haddonfield Memorial High SchoolGirls CC team on winning the team championships, and to the combined Southern Regional High School squads for winning the co-ed championship! Puma backpacks were awarded to the scorers on each of these teams.

This year, national high school running advocates, John and Donna Dye, attended the meet! Check out their report at Cherokee Challenge at Dyestat.com!
