Jess and Mike's midrace dance

Mike was nearing the finish as Jess passed through the 1.5-mile crossing on her way to lap two. Jess shuffled back and forth with Mike, then pretended to tackle him. A perfect reminder that cross country is about more than a finish place.

Who is STXC for?

You do not need to have raced cross country in high school or college, and you do not need to be the fastest person on your team. STXC is designed for competitive runners, recreational runners and people who simply want a reason to race off-road through the fall. Show up as the runner you are now.

Team scoring, divisions & season standings

Team scoring is a central part of STXC. Divisions and scoring rules can evolve by season, so the current rules, team-registration requirements and weekly standings should be checked with the series materials and race communications. Race results, team standings and season updates are published throughout the fall.

Historic STXC results, standings & race photos

Years of Southern Tier cross-country history were previously sitting on an unpublished legacy page. Those links now live with the current series so old results and photos remain part of the same evergreen STXC record.

Legacy course resource: We also preserved a start/finish/registration/parking map from the former Confluence Running Events site. Because course logistics change by venue and year, treat it as a historical resource rather than current race-day instructions. View the legacy STXC map →
