A new Cross Country Course has been born amidst the pandemic. Years in the making, the Ocean Breeze XC Course falls on the grounds just outside the Indoor Track And Field Facility that hosts the New York State Meet. The Facility opened in 2015, and construction had allowed for outside renovations to the property as well. Those renovations were the groundwork for this course.
The Course has been certified 5K, and will be used by locals in its opening year. The Ocean Breeze WaveRunners took the course this weekend, but the venue will also see the CHSAA League utilize the layout this Fall. Open races may be available before the end of the year, upon further guidance from the City.
