WHY NIWOT?

​Niwot Cross Country (NXC) is a no-cut sport. There is a place for everyone on the NXC TEAM. Whether you already consider yourself a competitive runner, want to improve your running for another sport, or just want to give it a try...we will be excited to coach you. With our large talented coaching staff, student-athletes receive invaluable one-on-one time with the coaches, who are then able to tailor workouts for all types of runners.

We are so lucky. Niwot is surrounded with beautiful trail systems that give the student-athletes the opportunity to run on dirt trails, rather than running on busy roads. The views are spectacular and the trails can be as easy and as challenging as needed.
