FRIENDS, NATURE, AND BOUNDLESS EXPLORATION

More than a race, cross-country is about endurance of mind, body and soul.  It’s about courage — across mountain trails, forest roads, and winding campus paths — where runners learn to embrace challenges and discover the power of consistency.

TRAIN TOGETHER, RUN AS ONE

Cross-Country at Gould is both an individual and team pursuit. While each athlete races toward their personal best, the strength of the team comes from mutual accountability and support.  Here,  you belong to a team that believes progress matters more than perfection—and that every finish line is a shared victory.

Gould Academy's Cross Country Team works together to achieve their best running performance across Maine mountain trails.

Deep in the mountains of Maine, Gould Academy is preparing students for the world by showing them a different side of it. One where nature surrounds you, yet community envelops you. From creative arts to outdoor adventures and renowned athletics, Gould is where you can chase what excites you.
