Cross Country is run in the fall. Practices consist of trail, grass and road running, distance specific training, as well as learning proper warm up and cool down techniques. Practices are held behind Newtown's Reed Intermediate School. Races are usually between 1.5 miles and 2 miles in length. The program is for both boys and girls in grades 5th grade through 8th grade. Along with regular season meets athletes have an opportunity to run in both the league and state championship meets. 

The current boys Home Course record is currently held by Newtown's own Tyler Dullinger with a time of 12 minutes and 17 seconds. The girls record is held by Julia Fragoneli of Bethel with a time of 13 minutes and 59 seconds. The Newton girls record holder is Laura Hornby with a time of 14 minutes and 23 seconds.
