The first installment of a two-part championship season kicks off this weekend for the Gaels men's and women's cross country teams, with the Gaels travelling to Hamilton for the OUA Championships at Bayfront Park on Saturday morning.

The women's 8km race starts on Saturday at 11am, while the men's 10km race will take the line at 12 pm.
