Three Course Challenge

The Three Course Challenge is an annual cross-country running event held at Camp Rilea in Warrenton, Oregon. It features three distinct courses—Easy (4,300m), Moderate (5,000m), and Difficult (5,000m)—designed to test athletes' endurance and mental toughness across varied terrain including grass, dirt, sand roads, trails, and a notable "mud pit." The courses include challenging hills and water/mud crossings, with minimal pavement. Runners are assigned courses by coaches based on ability, and team scoring encourages strategic placement. The event fosters community spirit with pre-race social activities and offers an immersive cross-country experience for middle and high school athletes.
