UM-D Club Cross Country is a growing student organization which was founded in the spring of 2005 and consists of runners of all levels. Our club members range from casual runners to former high school all-staters. The primary goal of the club is to unite these runners within the UM-D community and to ensure that boredom does not consume those who would otherwise run alone! We provide an easy-going environment for runners of all abilities with plenty of opportunity for competition as well. The only requirement to join is a passion for running!

Cross Country is an entirely student directed club sport at the University of Michigan - Dearborn. There are no coaches, which allows us to promote student leadership through our board of officers.

Happy Running :o)

With temperatures actually dropping from 12 to 4 degrees between 8:00am and the start of the race at 10:00am, nine brave runners head out to the Riverview Winterfest. Wind chills were around -20 degrees, and the icy roads combined with near whiteout conditions by fields caused a few falls, but none the less we all took home some prizes! The first of the two relay teams (4x1 mile) took 1st place overall and the second UMDxc relay took 3rd overall. Teresa Cook ran the 4 mile race, finishing 2nd in her age group. Results will be posted ASAP.
