Cross country meets?

Question

How long to cross country meets last? Like timewise. And when they're out of town or state, how long is the team there? When do they leave and when do they come back?

Answer 1

Normal Cross Country meet around where I live usually lasted around 2-3 hours.  Each category had to run, JV, high school girls, high school boys, etc.   Include drive time and it could be up to 4 hours there and back round trip.   During State meet which was several hours away we would drive there the day before and sleep up there, run the next morning/day, and drive back that afternoon.

Answer 2

I have only been to ones in my state and in my town, but those last about 2-3 hours depending on where it is. But I know some people who have been to out-of-state meets that lasted overnight.
