Is there a benefit to that? Or do you try to relax in the final 10 min before the start?

It should be like any other race. As relaxed as you can at the start then as high as you can to finish.

Yes. Your body will be better off the first few minutes and the start of the race will not feel like such a shock to the system.
Cross country is an aerobic race and I always felt the faster I could get comfortable breathing the better I ran from that point on. So by warming up slow to get my breathing I found myself running three miles of the race comfortable. When I did not warm up it would take about half the race to get comfortable.
