The Course
In addition to the course map below, click here to see a quick video taking you through the entire course.
The cross country course starts on the backside of Phelps Stadium and will finish inside the stadium on the football field. Teams, coaches, and spectators must walk over the Hill Bridge to access the course – no cars will be permitted.
The race starts with an open 300m grass straightaway, and bumps up to a raised dirt road while turning roughly one hundred degrees to the left. This road heads into the woods along the Exeter River, where the trail remains wide but turns to a softer surface with many roots. The 1-mile mark passes on this loop as the course returns to the wooded trail entrance and runners proceed back towards the start on the same road. After turning onto the grass, runners will cross a halfway mat (it's just past halfway), and run the shortest distance across the grass field to the far side on the eastern boundary, where they again run up to a raised trail and turn left ninety degrees. This trail runs straight through the woods on a broad, soft dirt surface.
Just after the 2-mile mark, the course turns right ninety degrees to the "hill loop," which includes a modest 30-yard climb and gradual descent, looping back to the loop entrance. Runners will then turn hard to the right towards the fields, turning again to a long, open grassy loop that will then turn left to the dirt road. Near the stadium, the runners turn and follow the dirt road to the gated entrance to the stadium. The running surface turns to turf here, and the finish stretch is roughly 70 yards straight to the finish line.
Awards Ceremony
At the conclusion of racing, teams and spectators are welcomed inside Love Gymnasium for the awards ceremony. Please note, Love Gymnasium is not the indoor track.Â
