One of the Southeast’s most storied and famously fast cross country courses is ready for championship racing. Known for its wide crushed limestone trails and mostly flat layout, McAlpine Creek Park has been a staple of Southeast cross country for decades. McAlpine isn’t without its challenges. Near the halfway point, runners encounter the course’s signature hill before returning to the fast terrain that has made it a favorite for championship competition. The Brooks XC South Championship is headed to McAlpine Creek Park on November 28, 2026 - register today. brooksrunning | #BrooksXC
