*Cross Country races are not on tracks

Answer

Cross-country races are not held on tracks but on natural terrain such as grass, dirt, and hills, covering various distances ranging from 5000 meters to 12000 meters or even longer in some cases. The race courses often incorporate natural obstacles and challenging terrain, unlike the consistent surface of a track.
