A runner's creed: I will win; if I cannot win, I shall be second; if I cannot be second, I shall be third; if I cannot place at all, I shall still do my best.

Ken Doherty





When you put yourself on the line in a race and expose yourself to the unknown, you learn things about yourself that are very exciting.

Doris Brown Heritage





Cycling is unique. No other sport lets you go like that where there's only the bike left to hold you up. If you ran as hard, you'd fall over. Your legs wouldn't support you.

Steve Johnson





Running cross country is the closest man will ever get to flying.

Joseph Vanderstel





You know you run cross country when you are freakishly good at estimating distances.

Sports are a microcosm of society.

Billie Jean King





Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

Leonardo da Vinci





I found I could also be good in cross country. I don't think my running style has anything to do with it. If you have speed and your body feels good, you can do any distance.

Catherine Ndereba





Running taught me valuable lessons. In cross-country competition, training counted more than intrinsic ability, and I could compensate for a lack of natural aptitude with diligence and discipline. I applied this in everything I did.    

Nelson Mandela





That's one thing you learn in sports. You don't give up; you fight to the finish.

Louis Zamperini





If I miss anything about the sport, it's the camaraderie of old teammates.    

Bo Jackson





The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.

John Bingham





The start of a World Cross Country event is like riding a horse in the middle of a buffalo stampede. It's a thrill if you keep up, but one slip and you're nothing but hoof prints.
