Southern Tier Cross Country Series (STXC) 2026
Five fall races. Real cross country. One community.
Come Back to Cross Country.
The mud. The hills. The teammates. The rivalries. The stories after the finish. There is something about cross country that sticks with you — and STXC gives you a reason to feel it again.
Why Run STXC?
Your Team Matters
Cross country is different when your finish helps your teammates. Team scoring, friendly rivalries and the people around you make every race mean a little more.
Get Off the Road
Trade predictable pavement for grass, trails, hills, turns and changing terrain. Every course asks something different of you.
Find That XC Feeling Again
You do not need to be the runner you were years ago. Show up as the runner you are now and rediscover the part of racing that made fall special.
Be Part of the Community
STXC brings local runners together week after week. Race hard, cheer for somebody else, compare stories and come back for the next course.
