A sport for everyone who loves to run fast.

Sprint-Cross is a sprint running event for women and men on a 192.27 meter long street course (not on tartan). Different to classic sprint competitions, the runners don´t start from starting blocks but from a starting machine developed especially for Sprint-Cross. All runners share the same route (no lanes), radical changes of direction included.

Street-Sprint-Elimination

Sprint-Cross races are held in a 2-stage mode: a qualification and the finals. In the qualification, each participant completes a single time trial against the clock. The fastest (4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ...) in the qualification proceed to the finals. In the finals, the winners are determined in a 4-cross format (elimination system: 4 runners start at the same time, the fastest two runners proceed to the next round). 6- or 8- cross competitions are also possible. Sprint-Cross competitions are organized equally for all skill levels, from amateur to elite, are able to compete in the same format.

Historic track length

Role model for the distance of exactly 192.27 meters are the very first Olympic Games (776 B.C.) and their sole discipline at that time: the sprint for the “stadium length”, which today corresponds to the 192.27 meters.
