Do it solo and record their time. Then the fastest time wins. Thats a perfect solution for your silly covid19 dilemma. Social distancing and Xc racing both accomplished.

That is called a time trial
430 miler, have you been above north 40 degrees latitude after October 15th? The day light is limited. The temperature may be 65 degrees, the temperature may be 30 degrees. Not practical.
That is exactly what the NJCAA Region 3 has proposed doing. They have split the region into east & west with 4-6 teams in each sub division. Four (4) of them will hold a home meet. Then the Conference Championships with the same teams and the Regional Championships with the entire region. No teams will have to travel more than 75 miles for the sub division. Initially the meets will be run using the following format:
Team A runs
1st man- 1:00 later they run 2nd man. This continues until they have all run. Then team B, C & D.
Then the same process with the ladles.
Yes, it's not perfect, but at least theres a start to the season. If after a meet or two (2) the risk goes down, perhaps move to the "normal" format. By end of October were betting that all will be fine to hold the entire region followed by the NJCAA Nationals the first weekend in November.
Pretty good idea. Would be easy to televise too. Just play the good runs. I would actually like to see this with mountain sky running. Especially the downhill.
There has been a thread about this already.

If you are a fan of time trials then this would be the solution, no thanks
Ever been to a meet when it is raining? First race is okay but 3rd race of the day is 4 inch deep slop. Running individually would be huge advantage for first runner and disadvantage for last runner.
I ran all my cross country meets my jr year of high school individually. There were always a lot of other runners chasing me the whole race.
