Southern Tier Cross Country Series
Fast legs. Muddy shoes. Great people.
The team rivalries, the changing courses, the Hare, and those moments in the middle of a race you'll still be talking about next week. Cross country for all running levels.

Race with a team or show up on your own. The grass, turns, competition and the roaming STXC Hare bring something different to every race.
Cross country has its moments
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.
The Race 3 photo gallery, individual results, and Mixed team standings are live. The provisional season leaderboard is also available.

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Years of Southern Tier cross-country history were previously sitting on an unpublished legacy page.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.
