Spud Spotlight #4 with Erik Hanson and Isaac Lundberg -- Run the Course: Building Grit and Connection Through Cross Country

In this episode, I sit down with the varsity coaches of our Spud Cross Country program to talk about what makes the sport so unique, and why it’s about so much more than just running. We explore how Cross Country challenges athletes both mentally and physically, the lessons it teaches about perseverance and teamwork, and the powerful connection between our middle school and high school programs that continues to grow runners, and leaders, year after year.Whether you’re a current athlete, a parent considering new opportunities, or just someone who wants to understand what makes this sport special, this conversation shines a light on the culture, character, and community that define Cross Country in Moorhead.
