 Cross
country skiing is a winter sport which promotes superior physical
conditioning while providing enjoyment for athletes of all ages.
Cross country skiing is appropriate for all ability levels, and
requires little more than skis, boots, poles and a desire to exercise
throughout the winter months.
There are several events in which an athlete can choose to participate.
Like all Special Olympics sports, the events in cross country skiing
are designed to be appropriate for athletes of every ability level.
The individual events offered in cross country skiing range from
a 100 meter race to a 10 kilometer race. There is also the opportunity
for a team to compete in a 3 x 1 km or a 4 x 1 km race. For athletes
who have low ability levels, Special Olympics Cross Country offers
events such as the 10-meter ski race.
