Have you ever been curious what it would look like if the fastest individuals and teams got together at the same venue without the unnecessary requirement to qualify at a regional meet? The New Balance RunningLane XC Championships is the answer to this question, no need to run a regional meet hours away, only to hope you qualify. Just sign up for RunningLane with your best individual or team performances and we will place you in the fastest race you or your team qualify for.
On Saturday, December 5th we will be hosting the post season event of the year for athletes to cap off their cross country season.
Participants will:
1) Run on the fastest 5k cross country course in the Nation!
2) Have a post season championship as an individual or with their team!
3) Have the opportunity to earn amazing individual and team awards!
We will also be hosting an open race open to participants of all ages.

NEW in 2026, Youth 2 Mile open to Club Teams! After years of asking we're finally adding this option. The 2 Mile will feature Boy & Girls 13-14, 11-12, 9-10, 8 & Under club team options. Any kid from 1st - 8th grade will be allowed to participate in this. It's important to note that 7th & 8th graders don't have to compete in the 2 Mile if they would prefer to compete in the 5K. There will be medals for the top individuals in each age group category. For 2026, all divisions will run the 2 mile together for maximum competition but as this segment of RXC grows there may be a need to divide them out into their own separate races in the future.
