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.
