Also called a cross-country race. A long-distance race that uses natural terrain such as fields, grasslands, hills, and forests and chooses a course with variety. It is different from track races held at stadiums, marathons mainly on roads, and relay races. It is said to have developed from the British children's game "paper-chase," in which several children become rabbits and run away scattering pieces of paper, while many other children become hounds and chase them. The first cross-country race was organized in 1867, when the Thames Boat Club in London adopted it as a winter training for the legs and hips.

断郊競走ともいう。野原,草原,丘陵,森林など自然の地形を利用し,変化のあるコースを選んで行う長距離競走。競技場で行うトラック・レースや道路主体のマラソン,駅伝競走とは区別される。ウサギになった何人かの子どもが紙片をまきながら逃げると,それを他の大勢の子どもが猟犬になって追いかけるというイギリスの子どもの遊び〈ウサギ狩りごっこpaper‐chase〉から発展したものといわれるが,最初にクロスカントリーとして組織されたのは1867年で,ロンドンのテムズ・ボートクラブが冬期間の足・腰のトレーニングとしてこれを採用したといわれている。
