The Cross di Vezia is a one-day winter cross country meeting held in Vezia, in the Ticino canton of southern Switzerland. Racing is split into age-group categories that run back to back, starting with a 300 m dash for the youngest children and building through the youth and masters categories to a 7.5 km race for M20 athletes. The courses are laid out on cross country ground and are contestable in the mild but often wet January conditions typical of the region. The meeting forms part of the Swiss Cross Cup series and is organised by SAM Società Atletica Massagno.

Other questions
Entry is by age and gender category rather than by choice of distance. The programme runs from Cuccioli/e over 300 m and U10 over 500 m up to U20M, M40, M50 and M60 over 6 km and M20 over 7.5 km. The club will place you in the correct race for your category when you enter.
Yes. The meeting is listed as part of the Cross Cup running series, so results count within that Swiss cross country series.
The races are cross country events, so expect grass, earth and possibly mud rather than tarmac. In a Ticino January the ground is often soft and wet, which makes grip a bigger factor than on a road race.
Shoes with strong grip are the usual choice for a winter cross country race, either cross country spikes or a trail shoe with an aggressive outsole. Bring a spare pair of shoes and a change of clothes for afterwards.
The listing gives Vezia in the Ticino canton as the location but does not name a specific venue or start area. The organising club publishes the exact assembly point and course details as race day approaches.
