Lt(N) Michael Bergeron and Lt(N) Natalia Borszczow are both accom- plished road runners with years of experience, but for their next race, they’re stepping outside their comfort zones and doing it on one of the big- gest stages for military athletes. The two RCN officers and Campus Atlantic members will be travelling to Balatonakarattya, Hungary from November 3-7 for the CISM World Mili- tary Cross-Country Championship. The event will feature some of the best military athletes in the world from 25 countries, including 15 runners on the CAF team, competing in one of three different distances on a grassy open- air course over natural, hilly terrain. Lt(N) Bergeron will compete in the 11.5km men’s long race, while Lt(N) Borszczow will race 4.6km in the women’s event. The distances aren’t long compared to marathon or half-marathon road races, but cross- country racing presents different challenges, and with little experience Lt(N) Michael Bergeron and Lt(N) Natalia Borszczow, in white shirts, will be represent- in that racing style, the runners are ing Canada at the CISM World Military Cross-Country Championship in Hungary. tempering their expectations.
