Why are women cross-country races normally shorter than Men?

Historically male cross country races have always been longer than their female counterparts. Why are women being kept from enjoying as much mud and hills as males? Maud Hodson, a member of East London Runners certainly thinks that both genders should race over the same distance – and she is not alone. “Every year the same debate arises and it’s sending out a status to our next generation of runners that there isn’t equal status, that the men’s race is the main event,” says Maud.
