National Cross Country Series (GNCC) sea-

The series kicks off in Union, South Carolina,

For round five, on April 18-19, GNCC racing
returns to the state of Kentucky for the first
time since 2013 to a brand-new location for

stellar year for GNCC racers with two brand-

in Kentucky will be a unique racecourse with
some opportunities for some challenging ter

to New York for the new Watkins Glen GNCC,
and having the opportunity to explore the
woods of the famed Watkins Glen International
is really exciting."
