Morven Park provides an ideal setting for a marquee Cross Country course, with a variety of desired & essential elements. The grass fields are expertly manicured, with surrounding picturesque wooded landscape and intentionally designed natural pathways. Wide open fields and connected loops afford spectators a direct connection, in multiple areas, to cheer on runners as they test early season conditioning. Simultaneously, coaches can reach various points to evaluate their runners' form, fitness, and competitive instincts!
Morven's XC course is getting a refresh in 2026 - expect an even speedier and spectator/coach friendly course to be announced in July 2026.
